What happens to each copy of the DEA 222 form when the pharmacy is returning CIIs to a wholesaler?

Pharmacy keeps Copy 1; DEA gets Copy 2; Supplier gets Copy 3
Pharmacy keeps Copy 3; DEA gets Copy 2; Supplier gets Copy 1
Pharmacy keeps Copy 2; DEA gets Copy 3; Supplier gets Copy 1
Pharmacy keeps Copy 1; DEA gets Copy 3; Supplier gets Copy 2

The correct answer is: Pharmacy keeps Copy 1; DEA gets Copy 2; Supplier gets Copy 3

When a pharmacy is returning controlled substances, such as Schedule II drugs, using the DEA 222 form, the process involves the proper distribution of the copies of the form. The correct procedure is structured to maintain accountability and regulatory compliance in the handling of controlled substances. The pharmacy retains Copy 1 of the DEA 222 form, which serves as their permanent record of the transaction. This copy helps the pharmacy document the return of controlled substances, ensuring they can verify their actions during audits or inspections. The second copy, known as Copy 2, is sent to the DEA. This allows the DEA to keep track of the transfer of controlled substances, maintaining oversight and regulatory control in the distribution and handling of these substances. Lastly, Copy 3 goes to the supplier (wholesaler), who will use it for their records, confirming that they have received the returned items. This ensures that the supplier can also maintain accurate records of inventory and transactions. This process is designed to uphold the integrity of the controlled substances distribution system, prevent misuse, and ensure that all parties involved maintain proper documentation for legal and regulatory purposes.
