What form is required for a pharmacy to register with the DEA?

To register a pharmacy with the DEA, the required form is DEA Form 224. This form is specifically designed for registration of pharmacies that intend to handle controlled substances. The registration process ensures that the pharmacy can legally dispense controlled substances, and it sets forth the guidelines that pharmacies must follow to maintain compliance with federal regulations.

The DEA Form 224 collects important information about the pharmacy, such as its location, the type of services it provides, and the name of the pharmacy owner. Upon approval of the application submitted with this form, the pharmacy is issued a DEA registration number that allows it to prescribe, administer, or dispense controlled substances within the scope of its practice.

Using the correct form for registration is crucial for legal operation within the framework of the Controlled Substances Act and maintains regulatory compliance for the dispensing of medications that are classified as controlled substances.
