Walmart Changes Opioid Policy
(Undated) — Walmart is toughening up its opioid prescription policies. The retailer announced yesterday that within the next 60 days it will begin limiting new opioid prescriptions to seven days and dosages to 50 morphine milligram equivalents per day. They’ll also require that prescriptions be filled out electronically to prevent fraud. The changes are in line with recommendations from the CDC, which are designed to curb deaths from opioid overdoses.
