AI Summary

This bill enacts new provisions in Louisiana law to limit opioid prescriptions. It establishes a seven-day limit on initial opioid prescriptions for adults with acute conditions and for minors, with exceptions if more is medically necessary. The bill also requires practitioners to consult with patients on the quantity and risks of opioid prescriptions, and allows patients to request a pharmacist to dispense a lesser amount than prescribed, with proper documentation. The provisions are intended to address the opioid epidemic by reducing excess opioid supply while still allowing necessary medical treatment.
