Abstrakt:	Objective: To investigate the impact of QScript implementation on pregabalin‐related poisoning presentations to the ED. Methods: This is a retrospective review of pregabalin‐related poisoning presentations to a tertiary Australian ED in the 4 years prior to, and 1 year following the introduction of QScript real‐time prescription monitoring system. Results: Pregabalin‐related poisoning presentations fell by 28% from an average of 98 presentations annually over the 4 years prior to QScript implementation to 71 in 2022. The severity of poisonings was similar over the periods. Conclusions: The introduction of QScript was associated with a reduction in pregabalin‐related poisoning presentations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
