If a retail pharmacy contracts with carriers to receive controlled substances from a central fill pharmacy, who is responsible for reporting in-transit losses?

The carrier
The central fill pharmacy
The DEA
The retail pharmacy

The correct answer is: The carrier

The carrier is responsible for reporting in-transit losses because they are the ones physically transporting the controlled substances. The central fill pharmacy is not responsible because they are not handling or transporting the substances. The DEA is not responsible for reporting in-transit losses, but they are responsible for regulating and monitoring controlled substances. The retail pharmacy may be responsible for reporting any losses after the controlled substances have been delivered.
