What is diversion?

Diversion refers to the redirection of prescription drugs from the person for whom they were prescribed to someone else. This describes the unauthorized transfer or use by individuals other than the original patient, which is a concern for safety and regulatory control. In practice, diversion includes scenarios like a patient sharing or selling prescribed medications to others, enabling misuse or illegal distribution. The other statements describe general prescribing, a dispensing method, or cross-border importation, none of which capture the unwanted transfer of drugs between people.
