How do I obtain surgical supplies, prescription (Legend) drugs, controlled substances, anesthetics and painkillers for use on my research animals?
Legend Drugs and Controlled Substances In Tennessee, it is not legal to divert drugs from clinical use to teaching and research use. You, or someone in your group acting as an agent for the group, must have a license for each individual legend drug that you might use in teaching or research. A legend drug is one where the label says “Federal Law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian” or “Federal Law prohibits dispensing without a prescription”. If the drug is a controlled substance, you also need a license from the Drug Enforcement Administration for the specific drugs that you may use. Obtaining and using such drugs for research needs to be reviewed by the appropriate Committee. The use of legend drugs and controlled substances must be approved by the appropriate committee.
