Records of controlled substances inventories must be maintained for three years in accordance with federal and state regulations. This requirement is in place to ensure proper tracking and accountability of controlled substances, which play a critical role in public health and safety. Maintaining these records for three years allows for sufficient time to conduct audits and investigations if necessary, ensuring that any discrepancies in inventory can be addressed and resolved. This retention period also aligns with the overall expectations for record-keeping in the pharmacy profession, helping to uphold regulatory compliance and promote responsible handling of controlled substances.
