What form should be used for disposing of Schedule II controlled substances?

The appropriate form for disposing of Schedule II controlled substances is DEA Form 41. This form is specifically designed for registrants to document the destruction or disposal of controlled substances that are no longer needed, including Schedule II drugs.

Using DEA Form 41 ensures that the disposal process is compliant with federal regulations and allows for proper record-keeping, which is critical in the management of controlled substances. This form requires specific details such as the drug name, dosage form, strength, and the quantity being disposed of, as well as information about how and when the disposal occurred.

In the context of the other forms mentioned, they serve different purposes: DEA Form 106 is used for reporting theft or loss of controlled substances; DEA Form 222 is essential for ordering Schedule I and II controlled substances; and DEA Form 315 pertains to applications for registration for manufacturers and distributors. Therefore, none of these forms would be suitable for the disposal of Schedule II substances.
