The Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons (SUSMP), also known as the Poisons Standard for short, is an Australian legislative instrument produced by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).[1] Before 2010, it was known as the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Drugs and Poisons (SUSDP).[2] The SUSMP classifies drugs and poisons into different Schedules signifying the degree of control recommended to be exercised over their availability to the public.[3] As of 2023[update], the most recent version is the Therapeutic Goods (Poisons Standard—October 2023) Instrument 2023.
