 In hopes of reducing the number of deaths from prescription drugs, the Attorney General Lori Swanson is recommending some changes to the way doctors prescribe drugs in Minnesota. Swanson's recommendations include doctors being required to review patient history in the state's prescription drug monitoring program before prescribing controlled substances and also only allowing prescriptions for controlled substances to be valid for 30 days instead of a year. Swanson is also calling for expanded access to drug treatment in rural areas.
