This provider prescribes both opioids and benzodiazepines. The FDA has issued a Black Box Warning about the life-threatening risks of concurrent use.
🔎 Data Overview
Opioid rate is 223% above Physician Assistant peers. This is a significant deviation that may reflect a specialized patient population or concerning prescribing patterns.
This provider co-prescribes opioids and benzodiazepines — a combination carrying an FDA Black Box Warning due to increased risk of respiratory depression and death. While sometimes clinically necessary, this combination requires careful justification.
Prescribes only 10 unique drugs, which is unusually low. Most providers prescribe 30+ different medications. Narrow prescribing patterns deserve context about the provider's practice scope.
