Prescription Monitoring Program

Virginia’s Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) is a near “real-time” central database containing information used primarily by healthcare providers to better inform treatment and dispensing decisions. The database contains information on dispensed controlled substances as well as naloxone and registered cannabis products. PMP data is used to track trends in drug utilization, measure the impact of policy (legislative) actions, and support activities related to the opioid crisis response in the Commonwealth. The PMP also provides information to authorized law enforcement agents and regulatory personnel to assist with criminal or licensee investigations.
