The diversion and abuse potential associated with controlled substances warrants extensive record keeping involving every aspect of the controlled substances, from manufacturing to acquisition to dispensing to disposal/destruction. Purchasers are required to keep complete and accurate records for each controlled substance manufactured, purchased, received, distributed, dispensed, or otherwise disposed of for 2 years. All records must be available to the DEA for inspection and copying. All records and inventories of Schedule II controlled substances must be maintained separately from all other records of the registrant. All records and inventories of Schedule III-V controlled substances must be maintained either separately from all other records or in such a form that the information is readily retrievable from the ordinary business records at the time of DEA inspection.
