Prescribing Testosterone and Other Controlled Substances Without Getting Blown Up (Part 2 of 2)

This interview is for informational purposes only, not to be construed as legal or medical advice.

Improperly prescribing any substance can carry criminal implications. Improperly prescribing controlled substances like testosterone will result in criminal implications – to say nothing of what will happen to the offending doctor’s license. With that said, there are medical reasons for prescribing testosterone, and there are ways doctors can prescribe it to patients in need while mitigating risk. How?

Enter Mr. Rick Collins, JD. Mr. Collins is an esteemed legal authority in the field of many controlled substances – including testosterone. Dr. Jeff Segal and Mr. Collins discuss at length how to safely prescribe testosterone, the implications of marketing the substance, and how to occupy the interstice of what a patient wants and what the law allows.

Contact Rick Collins by visiting his website (www.steroidlaw.com), via email at rcollins@cgmbesq.com, or by phone at 516-294-0300.

Dr. Susan Schroeder is an extremely talented dermatological surgeon. She’s been in practice for over two decades. She’s treated thousands of patients.
