Electronic Prescription Drug Monitoring Program
The Electronic Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (“PDMP”) is available online to all Colorado licensed prescribers of controlled substances and to pharmacists.
The PDMP, operated by the Colorado State Board of Pharmacy, is a secure online database of controlled substance prescriptions that have been dispensed by Colorado registered pharmacies. The PDMP provides immediate access to a patient's history of controlled substance prescriptions and is available 24/7. This objective information can then be used to assist prescribers and pharmacists in providing the appropriate treatment for their patients. The PDMP also allows prescribers to obtain a complete record of the prescriptions that have been dispensed pursuant to his or her DEA registration.
