Taiwan to reclassify etomidate as Category 1 narcotic
Posted on 2026-06-18 07:49:13
The Ministry of Justice has moved to reclassify etomidate as a Category 1
narcotic.

The change was made Wednesday by a ministry committee amid growing public
concern over drug-impaired driving incidents involving the substance, which
have caused multiple deaths and injuries in recent years.

The ministry says if the decision is formally approved and announced by the
Cabinet, those convicted of manufacturing, transporting or selling the drug
could face heavy prison sentences and the death penalty in the most serious
cases.

The committee also approved reclassifying eight related substances as
Category 1 narcotics, and designated two chemical precursors used in
synthesizing etomidate as controlled substances subject to tighter
regulation.

The Ministry of Justice said it would expedite administrative procedures
before submitting the proposal to the Cabinet for formal approval.
