Italian term

Ufficio Centrale Stupefacenti

Italian to English Law/Patents Law (general) Pharmaceutical letter
Good morning all!

I have come across Ufficio Centrale Stupefacenti in a letter which I am translating and I am struggling to a precise translation for this. I was thinking something along the lines of Central Narcotics Bureau/Office but I wonder if Narcotics is right here. This is a letter which has been posted by the government on behalf of them for pharmaceutical products.

Anyone has a more precise or any other ideas?

Thanks!
