The lawmaker claimed the ministry excluded injectable psychotropic drugs from the drug review system so that medical doctors couldn�t share information on the types and amount of the drugs prescribed for patients.
�DUR, or drug utilization review, is a system that the government adopted to avert the misuse of inappropriate drugs. But questions linger over why it excluded injections from the psychotropic drug category,� said Rep. Ryu.
In a move to crack down on drug abuse, the Ministry of Health and Welfare said it would strengthen the monitoring of drugs by using RFID tags to trace the path the drugs take from the time they are produced to when they are dispensed.
The government plans to urge drug manufacturers to put tiny radio antennas called Radio Frequency Identification on the packages of narcotics and psychotropic drugs allowed for medical use. About 53 types of drugs including propofol, midazolam and ketamine will be put on the must-watch list.
