Pharmacy selling the Schedule II drug is responsible for forwarding which copy of the DEA Form 222 to the DEA and by when?

For Schedule II orders, the DEA Form 222 uses three copies with distinct duties. The copy that goes to the DEA is the second copy, and it must be forwarded by the end of the month in which the order was filled. The purchaser (the pharmacy) keeps the third copy for its records, while the supplier retains the first copy. This setup ensures the DEA receives timely, traceable information about each Schedule II transaction, while the seller and buyer each maintain their own records.
