I am currently on Norco 5 325 which is class 3 and just read an upsetting article re. all drugs containing hydrocodone to become class 2...When will this happen-(HOW SOON) if anyone has a clue and what does that mean for refills on file now at a pharmacy.
Senate passes hydrocodone rescheduling amendment
Final PDUFA bill could contain language to make all hydrocodone-containing products Schedule II; APhA signs letters to Senate, House opposing such language.
With language included on hydrocodone rescheduling that APhA opposes, the FDA Safety and Innovation Act (S. 3187) passed the U.S. Senate on May 24 with an amendment to reclassify all hydrocodone-containing products from Schedule III to Schedule II.
A companion bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives as the FDA Reform Act (H.R. 5651) on May 30 without language on hydrocodone rescheduling. The proposed hydrocodone reclassification is under consideration for the final bill to be sent by early summer to President Barack Obama, who is expected to sign the bill into law.
