- Records of schedule II must be kept separate from other pharmacy records.
Schedule III, IV, and V Controlled Substances
- For open bottles containing up to 1,000 tablets, registrants can estimate the count; if over 1,000, an exact count is mandatory.
- Records of schedules III, IV, and V must be either maintained separately or readily retrievable from other pharmacy records.
Record-Keeping Requirements
