Pemoline: Expert Advisory Committee on Drugs Advice to the Minister
Date of publication:
Oct 2002
This paper considers the central nervous system stimulant pemoline - a substance that has been used to treat attention deficit disorder overseas. It has also been abused in some countries because of its amphetamine-like stimulant effects (Marnell 1999).
Pemoline is not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 (the Act). This assessment proposes that the Expert Advisory Committee on Drugs (EACD) considers recommending to the Minister of Health that pemoline be classified as a Third Schedule (Class C) Part 5 controlled drug.
