What is mal in drugs?

Published in Drug Terminology 1 min read

"MAL" can refer to a few different things in the context of drugs, depending on the specific context.

  • Methallylescaline (MAL): This is a lesser-known psychedelic drug, similar to mescaline. It's a 4-methyl analog of allylescaline, meaning it has a similar chemical structure but with an additional methyl group.
  • "MAL" as a registration code: In Malaysia, medicines are registered with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and have a registration number that starts with "MAL" followed by eight digits and a letter. This code indicates the medicine is registered and authorized for use in Malaysia.
  • "MAL" as an abbreviation for "Medicaid Advisory Letters": These are letters issued by the Ohio Department of Medicaid to providers, outlining policy updates, guidelines, and other information.

Therefore, "MAL" in drugs can refer to a psychedelic drug, a registration code for medicines, or an acronym for Medicaid advisory letters. It's important to clarify the context to determine the specific meaning.
