As a doctor, you must report to the substitution register if you prescribe substitution medication to opioid-dependent persons. You can request your access data from the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) for the first online notification.

Opioid addicts can benefit from substitution therapy. The Federal Opium Agency of the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) maintains a corresponding data register for prescribed substitution drugs. If you as a doctor prescribe substitution substances for opioid-dependent persons, you must report this to the BfArM's substitution register.

The purpose of the substitution register is to help detect and prevent multiple treatments as early as possible. In addition, the BfArM compiles statistical evaluations based on the data for the responsible state authorities.
