Ketamine
Ketamine is synthetic drug that is commonly used in medical and veterinary practice. It is known as disassociative anaesthetic and is also used as a analgesic. The Advisory Council's Report sets out the following recommendations:
- Ketamine should be controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
- Ketamine should be placed in Class C of the Misuse of Drugs Act and in Schedule 4 Part 1 of the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001.
- Coroners and Procurators Fiscal should be encouraged to consider more routine screening for Ketamine in cases of unexpected deaths and road traffic accidents.
- Ketamine should be included in the British Crime Survey in order to obtain more robust epidemiological data.
