Inventory Requirements When a Drug is Scheduled in Kansas
Inventory Requirements When a Drug Is
Scheduled
Tramadol became a federally controlled Schedule IV drug beginning
August 18, 2014. Pursuant to 21 CFR §1304.11, a pharmacy
is required to take an inventory of any CS that is added to the list
on the effective date of the rule. Thereafter, the substance needs
to be included in each inventory made by the registrant.
Kansas requires an annual inventory of CS. Each inventory of
Schedule II CS and all products containing hydrocodone require
an exact count. Make sure you designate on the inventory whether
it was taken at the beginning or close of business.
The Kansas State Board of Pharmacy has taken steps to have
tramadol removed from the Kansas Tracking and Reporting of
Controlled Substances (K-TRACS) drugs of concern regulation.
Tramadol will need to be reported to K-TRACS now that it has
been federally scheduled.

Multiple Prescriptions of a Schedule II CS in Kansas
Multiple Prescriptions of a Schedule II CS
The federal rule allows a practitioner to provide a patient with
multiple prescriptions on the same day for the same Schedule II
controlled substance (CS) to be filled sequentially. There is no
federal or state limit on the amount a prescriber can prescribe, but
when a prescriber issues multiple prescriptions of the same drug
on the same day, the combined amount shall not exceed a 90-day
supply. It is up to the prescriber to determine how many separate
prescriptions to write. For example, a prescriber may issue three
30-day Schedule II prescriptions to cover the 90 days, or he or she
may issue nine 10-day Schedule II prescriptions to cover the 90
days. Each prescription must be individually written on a separate
prescription. Once the prescription is filled, the inspector would
expect to find either three separate canceled prescriptions or nine
canceled prescriptions.

Gov. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts signed HB 4235, which effectively overhauls the regulation of pharmaceutical compounding in the state, on July 10. Sections of the law take effect in December.
