Drug diversion is a medical and legal concept involving the transfer of any legally prescribed controlled substance from the individual for whom it was prescribed to another person for any illicit use.

The definition varies slightly among different jurisdictions, but the transfer of a controlled substance alone usually does not constitute a diversion, since certain controlled substances that are prescribed to a child are intended to be administered by an adult, as directed by a medical professional.

The term comes from the "diverting" of the drugs from their original licit medical purpose.

In some jurisdictions, drug diversion programs are available to first time offenders of diversion drug laws, which "divert" offenders from the criminal justice system to a program of education and rehabilitation.

The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) is the statute establishing federal U.S. drug policy under which the manufacture, importation, possession, use and distribution of certain substances is regulated.

It was passed by the 91st United States Congress as Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 and signed into law by President Richard Nixon.

The Act also served as the national implementing legislation for the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.

A pharmaceutical drug (also referred to as medicine, medication, or simply as drug) is a drug used to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent disease.

Adenosine monophosphate (AMP), also known as 5'-adenylic acid, is a nucleotide that is used as a monomer in RNA.

It is an ester of phosphoric acid and the nucleoside adenosine, which does not have the typical high energy bond of the so called adenosine monophosphate ("AMP") that arises on the hydrolysis of ATP.

AMP consists of a phosphate group, the sugar ribose, and the nucleobase adenine.

As a substituent it takes the form of the prefix adenylyl-.

Hospital pharmacies are pharmacies usually found within the premises of a hospital.

Hospital pharmacies usually stock a larger range of medications, including more specialized and investigational medications (medicines that are being studied, but have not yet been approved), than would be feasible in the community setting.

Hospital pharmacies typically provide medications for the hospitalized patients only, and are not retail establishments.

They typically do not provide prescription service to the public.

Some hospitals do have retail pharmacies within them (see illustration), which sell over-the-counter as well as prescription medications to the public, but these are not the actual hospital pharmacy.
