“The Prescription Drug Monitoring program is a vital tool for health care and law enforcement professionals to keep patients safe and prevent dangerous, potentially lethal drug interactions,” said Morrison (D-Lake Forest). “But when prescription interactions are not able to be tracked, we are leaving patients at risk for dangerous drug interactions or being provided repeat prescriptions.”
