The Connecticut Prescription Monitoring and Reporting System (CPMRS) is a web-based application designed for prescribers and pharmacists to use as a tool to provide better care to their patients and to reduce addiction and overdose.
Connecticut law generally does not allow the direct reporting of clinical laboratory test results to patients. But, Department of Public Health regulations allow them to be reported directly to patients upon the written request of a provider statutorily authorized to order the testing (Conn. Agencies Reg., § 19a-36-D32).
We apologize for any inconvenience. The Drug Control Division works to protect the health and safety of Connecticut residents by regulating all persons and firms involved in the distribution of all legal drugs, medical devices and cosmetics in Connecticut.

A prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) is an electronic database that tracks controlled substance prescriptions. PDMPs can help identify patients who may be misusing prescription opioids or other prescription drugs and who may be at risk for overdose.

It is undetectable in saliva swab tests. Hair tests might be able to specifically detect the presence of gabapentin for up to 90 days; however, it would be highly unusual for a hair test to be used to detect gabapentin. Urinalysis can detect the presence of gabapentin for up to three days in most individuals.
Gabapentin is known as an opioid potentiate because it can increase the high felt with opioids such as fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine and even the street drug heroin. As a result, gabapentin has potential for misuse or abuse.

The Connecticut Prescription Monitoring and Reporting System (CPMRS) is a web-based application designed for prescribers and pharmacists to use as a tool to provide better care to their patients and to reduce addiction and overdose. In many states with existing prescription monitoring applications, prescribers are the primary users of the information in the database. The program collects prescription data for Schedule II through Schedule V drugs.
Clinical alerts are indicators of patients that may be at a high risk for an overdose. Practitioners are asked to review the patient's CPMRS report and use it as a tool to determine the appropriate level of care.
The CPMRS is a healthcare tool that is intended to be used to support prescribers in the treatment of their patients, specifically to detect signs of prescription abuse, addiction, and/or risk of overdose.
The CT Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) participates in an interstate data exchange network. The CT PMP currently shares controlled substance prescription data with other states, including all the border states (RI, MA, and NY).
Patients with drug abuse problems are likely to be frightened and desperate. They may have a distorted concept of their behavior, believe nothing is wrong, or convince themselves that someone else is to blame. As you attempt to defuse arguments and calmly present the facts, you can offer helpful suggestions that may guide your patients into treatment.
Overdose deaths and addiction related to prescription drugs are a troubling and very real issue. DCP encourages you to use the CPMRS to your advantage to provide safer and better care to your patients.

Patients'direct access to lab test results is governed by two federal laws: (1) the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), which regulates all clinical lab testing performed on humans and (2) the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule, which exempts CLIA labs from providing lab test ...
States can define an “authorized person” as either a health care provider, patient, or both. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 23 states have no laws addressing the issue. Only seven states and the District of Columbia allow such direct reporting and thirteen states prohibit it.
The proposed rule was prompted by the HHS Health Information Technology Policy Committee's review of the issue, which concluded that current CLIA and HIPAA regulations prevent patients from taking a more active role in their personal health care decisions.
