Wisconsin diet pill crackdown praised by medical journal
A JAMA report credits Wisconsin with cutting amphetamine abuse by halting Medicaid payments for the drug and restricting prescribing. Monthly doses in Milwaukee fell from about 27 000 to 700 from 1976 to 1978. Doctors were barred from prescribing for dieting and licenses could be suspended. The authors urge other states to adopt similar measures.
