Inventory record for Schedule III through V must include

• A. Date, Substance name, Finished form (e.g., 10 mg tablet), Number of dosage units or volume of each finished form, Number of commercial containers of each finished form, Total count of the substance, and Whether the inventory was taken at the beginning or close of business
• B. Date and Substance name only
• C. Finished form and Number of units only
• D. Total count and whether at end of business

Answer: (A)

Maintaining detailed control over Schedule III–V substances requires a thorough, verifiable inventory that ties each item to a specific stock count. The inventory record for these schedules must capture every element that uniquely identifies the substance and quantifies what’s on hand. Specifically, each line should show the date of the inventory, the substance name, the finished form (for example, a 10 mg tablet), the number of dosage units or the volume of each finished form, the number of commercial containers of that finished form, the total count of the substance, and whether the inventory was taken at the beginning or the end of business. This combination provides precise accountability, supports regulatory audits, and helps detect losses or miscounts. Other options miss essential pieces like the finished form, units, container counts, total quantity, or the timing indicator, which would weaken traceability.
