Account creation normally takes less than 5 minutes. Questions regarding how to register a PDMP account may be directed to the PDMP Help Desk at 1-855-263-6403.

The Colorado Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is a public health tool providing prescribers and pharmacists a secure database with immediate access to their patient's history of controlled substance prescriptions (Schedules II - V) that they otherwise may not have.

The information in the PDMP can help prescribers and pharmacists make more informed decisions when considering prescribing or dispensing controlled substances. The secure database provides a more comprehensive health record and connects practitioners to their patients' other prescribers and dispensers.
