HARRISBURG — Attorney General Josh Shapiro on Wednesday joined Gov. Tom Wolf at the Capitol Building to announce the launch of a new online tool to report suspicious activity regarding prescription drugs.

The suspicious activity report form is fully integrated into the Commonwealth’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Tool (PDMP) and can also be accessed by anyone at www.attorneygeneral.gov/Rx.

“The illegal diversion of prescription pain pills from doctors’ offices and pharmacies is contributing to the opioid epidemic across the Commonwealth, but diversion activity is hard to identify and even harder to investigate” said Shapiro. “This new reporting tool, which is available online to everyone, allows people to anonymously give our office detailed information about suspected diversion so we are better able to arrest and prosecute the criminals who are poisoning our communities for their own profit.”

Shapiro was joined by Wolf and Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine to make the announcement. The PA Department of Health will begin notifying PDMP users, like doctors and pharmacists, about the tool with encouragement to use it if they believe they have information on possible diversion activity. Medical professionals are the most likely to identify suspicious prescription drug activity, but any Pennsylvanian can access and use the reporting tool.
