Physicians who are baffled by the new Florida laws regulating the prescribing of controlled substances can take solace in a new book that provides a comprehensive and easy-to-understand guide to navigating the complex rules.
The Florida Guide to Prescription, Controlled Substance and Pain Medicine Laws, now available on Amazon.com, was authored by Lester Perling, a partner with the statewide law firm Broad and Cassel, Clearwater, FL Attorney Alan Gassman and Dr. Parkiksith Singh.
"The legislation imposes significant penalties on physicians who do not comply with these new requirements and enforcement is expected to be aggressive," said Perling. "Controlled substance regulation will remain an evolving area for physicians. It is critical for physicians to remain informed about their legal obligations."
