Inventory records of controlled substances shall include the name of the substance, the strength and dosage form of the substance (e.g. 10 mg. tablet), and the quantity of the substance.

Requirements that apply to all controlled substance records required to be kept: Must be complete and accurate. Must be stored at the registered location. Must be kept for two years.

An inventory reconciliation report of all Schedule II drugs shall be compiled at least every three months and, in order to complete the report, the inventory must be compared with a review of drugs that entered and left the pharmacy since the previous inventory reconciliation.
