What is DEA Form 41 used for?
Disposal of controlled substances
DEA Form 41, also known as the “Registrants Inventory of Drugs Surrendered,” is used by DEA registrants to report the surrender of controlled substances to the DEA. This form is used when a registrant needs to dispose of controlled substances due to various reasons such as expiration, damage, destruction, or loss, and they must be surrendered to the DEA.
The DEA Form 41 serves as a record of the transaction that takes place when the registrant relinquishes control over the controlled substances and provides the DEA with important information such as the type and quantity of controlled substances being surrendered, the reason for the surrender, and the name and address of the person or entity taking possession of the drugs for destruction.
It is important for registrants to maintain accurate records of their controlled substances inventory and to comply with all DEA regulations regarding the surrender and disposal of controlled substances. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties, including fines, imprisonment, and loss of the registrant’s DEA registration.
