Which form is used to report stolen or lost controlled substances?

The correct choice for reporting stolen or lost controlled substances is DEA Form 106. This form is specifically designated for documenting the theft or loss of controlled substances. When a pharmacy or healthcare facility discovers that controlled substances are missing, it is required to complete and submit this form to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to ensure proper tracking and accountability of these drugs.

Completing DEA Form 106 is critical because it helps the DEA initiate an investigation into the incident, and having a documented record aids in preventing future occurrences of theft or loss. Additionally, it serves as part of the pharmacy's compliance requirements to maintain accurate records of controlled substances.

The other forms mentioned serve different purposes. For instance, DEA Form 222 is used to order Schedule I and II controlled substances. DEA Form 41 is utilized for the destruction of controlled substances, and DEA Form 101 relates to registering with the DEA, which is not pertinent to the reporting of stolen or lost substances. Understanding the correct usage of these forms is essential for anyone in the pharmacy profession, especially those handling controlled substances.
