DEA Form _____: Ordering Scheduled I & II Drugs.

Scheduling I and II drugs must be ordered on DEA Form 222. This form is the official, triplicate document that authorizes the transfer of these tightly controlled substances from a supplier to a registered practitioner or facility. When you complete it, you list each item with its name, strength, dosage form, and quantity, and you sign it to certify the order. There are three copies: the supplier keeps the first copy, sends the second to the DEA, and the purchaser retains the third for their records. Partial shipments are permitted and handled by recording the quantities on the form; if the order can’t be filled in full, the remaining amount can be ordered with another form. This system creates a clear audit trail and helps prevent diversion of the most tightly regulated substances. Other forms serve different purposes: one is for reporting theft or loss, another for disposal of controlled substances, and another for narcotic treatment program registrations, not for ordering Schedule I or II drugs.
