Controlled drug changes took effect on 5 October 2023 with the gazetting of the Misuse of Drugs Amendment Regulations (No 2) 2023. The Amendment Regulations reduced the maximum limit for all opioid controlled drugs to one month. They align prescribing limits for electronic (NZePS) and physical prescriptions, and all controlled drug prescribers.
