| Drug Reference Online™ (DRO™) provides easily accessible and accurate information on the status of specific U.S. pharmaceutical products for use by athletes. Some over-the-counter medicinal products are included in the database as well. |
|
- The status of the pharmaceuticals reflects the current WADA Prohibited List and applies ONLY to the formulations used in the United States. Formulations of medications sold overseas MAY be different.
- Please note that CLASSES of compounds are prohibited by WADA, therefore substances that are not specifically listed may still be prohibited as part of a class.
- Some compounds (e.g., anabolic-androgenic steroids) that are prohibited by WADA but are not approved as medications in the U.S. have been listed in DRO™ as examples.
- USADA does not provide advice on medical matters or treatments. Treatment for routine or emergency medical conditions is between the athlete and his/her physician. USADA provides the status of medications for athletes' information only, in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code. The athlete is responsible for managing their medical care and for using medications in a manner consistent with the World Anti-Doping Code. Anti-doping rules, like competition rules, are rules governing conditions under which sport is played.
- Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) forms are available to request the use of prohibited substances if the substance is medically warranted. For emergency treatment, please see the section on Emergency Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) forms.
- The athlete is responsible for ensuring any substance that is prohibited in-competition, but permitted out-of-competition, has cleared from the body by the time of competition. This includes clearance of the substance and metabolites from blood and urine. Clearance rates will vary from substance to substance, and from person to person.
- Please take your USADA Wallet Card when you see your doctor and/or pharmacist and let your doctor and pharmacist know about USADA's Drug Reference Online™ (DRO™). To request a USADA Wallet Card, please contact Elyce Cardoza at ecardoza@usada.org.
