If a previously non-controlled medication is added to the federal controlled substance scheduling system, when does it need to be inventoried?
  1. On the biennial inventory date
  2. On January 1 following the scheduling change
  3. The effective date of the scheduling change
  4. On July 1 following the scheduling change
Explanation
Answer: C - A previously non-controlled medication that is added to the federal controlled substance scheduling system must be inventoried on the effective date of the scheduling change. Since scheduled medications are drugs of abuse, it is important to perform an inventory of any medication that is added to the federal controlled substance list. The inventory records should be kept with the other inventory records for the medications of the same schedule.
