What form is used to report theft or loss of controlled substances?

The appropriate form used to report theft or loss of controlled substances is DEA Form 106. This form is specifically designed for registrants to report any incidents of controlled substances that have been lost or stolen. It serves the purpose of notifying the DEA of the specifics surrounding the theft or loss, which helps in tracking and preventing future occurrences.

When a loss occurs, pharmacists must complete this form and submit it to the DEA as part of their regulatory responsibilities. This ensures proper record-keeping and accountability within the controlled substances distribution system.

The other forms mentioned in the choices serve different purposes: DEA Form 41 is used for the disposal of controlled substances, DEA Form 222 is used for ordering and transferring Schedule I and II controlled substances, and DEA Form 350 does not pertain to controlled substances in this context. Understanding the specific uses of these forms is crucial for compliance with DEA regulations.
