 | | Gammahydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a medicinal product and is controlled under the Medicines for Human Use (Marketing Authorisations etc.) Regulations 1994 and the Medicines Act 1968. | | | The Department has not commissioned any research into gammahydroxybutyrate but are aware that side effects and acute health problems including collapse, coma and death can arise from misuse. | | | ACMD last considered gammahydroxybutyrate in May 1998 and concluded that misuse did not present a sufficient social problem to be controlled under this Act. |
