*Federal Register* notice: FDA has announced the establishment of a docket to solicit public comments on a potential modification to the Opioid Analgesic Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy to require that certain solid, oral dosage forms of immediate-release opioid analgesics commonly prescribed for treatment of acute pain be made available in fixed-quantity unit-of-use blister packaging for outpatient dispensing. Such packaging could reduce the amount of unused opioid analgesics, thereby reducing opportunities for misuse, abuse, inappropriate access, and overdose, and possibly reducing the development of new opioid addiction.
