Morphine is a Schedule II controlled substance. As such there are strict controls over it's manufacturing, distribution, prescribing and use. Doctor's must use special prescriptions for morphine. The script itself is only good for so many days. It cannot be called in to a pharmacy, nor can it be refilled. A new written prescription is required each time it is prescribed. The DEA closely tracks the prescribing and use of morphine. Special records are created of doctor's prescribing habits with regard to Schedule II drugs, including morphine. The DEA may also investigate the use of morphine by specific patients. They are looking for instances of illegal prescribing or for diversion, where a doctor or patient is getting morphine for illegal use or for sale on the street. Other drugs are similarly controlled like MS Contin, methadone, OxyContin, Opana, Dexedrine, Ritalin, Duragesic, etc.
