How often must Internet pharmacies report to the DEA the total quantity of each controlled substance if over 100 prescriptions have been filled?

Annually
Monthly
Quarterly
Weekly

The correct answer is: Monthly

Internet pharmacies are required to maintain strict compliance with regulations regarding the dispensing of controlled substances. When an Internet pharmacy fills over 100 controlled substance prescriptions, it is mandated to report the total quantity of each controlled substance to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on a monthly basis. This requirement helps ensure that regulatory authorities can monitor and track the dispensing of controlled substances, thereby preventing potential abuse or diversion. This monthly reporting allows the DEA to receive timely updates on prescription practices which can be crucial for addressing any irregularities or suspicious activity. Such oversight is essential for maintaining the integrity of the pharmaceutical distribution system, particularly in the context of Internet prescription services where tracking can be more complex.
