Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 9, September 27, 2024
Each person registered to dispense or conduct research with controlled substances and required to keep records pursuant to §601 shall include in his or her inventory the same information required of manufacturers pursuant to §§ 704(c) and (d). In determining the number of units of each finished form of a controlled substance in a commercial container which has been opened, the dispenser shall do as follows:
(a) If the substance is listed in schedule I or II, he or she shall make an exact count or measure of the contents; and
(b) If the substance is listed in schedule III, IV, V, he or she shall make an estimated count or measure of the contents, unless the container holds more than 1,000 tablets or capsules in which case he or she shall make an exact count of the contents. If estimated counts are utilized, quantities shall be recorded as number of finished doses per container. Fractions of containers may not be utilized.
(c) It is the responsibility of the registrant to determine that any estimates are accurate, as audit procedures will be based upon the inventories maintained by the registrant. The Bureau of Drug Control utilizes exact counts in all audit procedures, and will allow only minor leeway for estimated inventories.
