Being able to prescribe this medication requires a DEA-X Waiver. Dr. Alister Martin, the Founder of the Get Waivered initiative, has reduced the barriers for clinicians to obtain the necessary training and paperwork. https://getwaivered.com/remote/ Disclosure: ALiEM is a proud collaborator with the Get Waivered Initiative, which is funded by the Foundation for Opioid Response Efforts (FORE) Foundation.
