To CPhT from NJ Re: schedule V log

[Guest guest]

Hi J,

I actually looked into this question and couldn't find a solid answer.

According the DEA website,it only says that certain CV controlled substances may

be sold over the counter.

The last time I worked in a pharmacy that had CV log was years ago (about 26

years ago lol) and from what I remember we would ask to see ID and then the

customer would sign. We would check the log to see that the same customer

hadn't purchased the same drug earlier in the month. Since that time, every

pharmacy where I worked didn't sell any otc CV. And I don't remember any

customers coming in and asking for it.

I just called my PIC and she said she remembers when she graduated (about 10

years ago) we were required to have a signature log and to retain it for 7

years. But that same year, the NJ-BOP did away with requiring a signature.

All the same though, my pharmacy doesn't sell those products anyway.

Sorry, that wasn't much help at all.

sign it. If we have to comply with the most strict regulation State VS Federal,

why can we sign?
