Question: 1 / 1820

What does REMS stand for in the context of opioid medications?

Rapid Emergency Medical Service

Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy

REMS stands for Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy. This refers to a plan put in place by the FDA to ensure that certain high-risk medications, such as opioids, are prescribed and used properly. Option A, Rapid Emergency Medical Service, is incorrect because REMS does not pertain to emergency medical services, but rather the use of medication. Option C, Regulated Emission and Management System, is incorrect because REMS does not relate to emission regulations or management systems. Option D, Respiratory Evaluation and Monitoring System, is incorrect because although opioids can impact respiratory function, REMS relates to broader safety concerns and monitoring of patients, not just the respiratory system.
