| Ok will try this again .... cant post links yet nor send a PM .... will have to do it without the links .... you can do a search for the information if needed .... This is what it says on the FMSCA website for medications that disqualify ..... 77. What medications disqualify a CMV driver? 180 A driver cannot take a controlled substance or prescription medication without a prescription from a licensed practitioner. If a driver uses a drug identified in 21 CFR 1308.11 (391.42(b)(12) or any other substance such as amphetamine, a narcotic, or any other habit forming drug, The driver is medically unqualified. There is an exception: the prescribing doctor can write that the driver is safe to be a commercial driver while taking the medication. In this case, the Medical Examiner may, but does not have to certify the driver. Any anti-seizure medication used for the prevention of seizures is disqualifying. Methadone use is disqualifying. The Medical Examiner has 2 ways to determine if any medication a driver uses will adversely affect safe operation of a CMV: 1. Review each medication - prescription, non-prescription and supplement 2. Request a letter from the prescribing doctor You can do a search and find the section of the code book "If a driver uses a drug identified in 21 CFR 1308.11 (391.42(b)(12)" that section will give you the full list of the drugs they look at |
