DEA Form 106 is used to report losses of federally scheduled II-V controlled substances.

• A. Breakage, damage, or spillage
• B. Robberies
• C. Shortages
• D. Loss of federally scheduled II through V controlled substances

Answer: (D)

DEA Form 106 is the official way to report a loss or theft of controlled substances to the DEA. It applies to substances in schedules II through V because those are the drugs pharmacies commonly inventory and must account for under the Controlled Substances Act. The form captures any event that results in a loss of these substances—whether it’s theft, breakage, damage, or other causes—so regulators can track where drugs may have diverted from legitimate use. The goal is to document the loss quickly and with details about the substance, amount, circumstances, and disposition to help prevent diversion and ensure compliance.
