Question 58

A pharmacy must utilize a DEA Form 222 or CSOS to order stock bottles of Adderall and Ritalin.

Adderall and Ritalin are classified as Schedule II controlled substances, which require a DEA Form 222 or the Controlled Substance Ordering System (CSOS) for ordering.

A) Lomotil and Lyrica.

Lomotil is a Schedule V controlled substance, which does not require a DEA Form 222 for ordering. Lyrica, while a controlled substance, is classified as Schedule V, thus also not requiring the same level of regulation as Schedule II drugs.

B) testosterone cypionate and acetaminophen/codeine.

Testosterone cypionate is a Schedule III controlled substance, which does not necessitate a DEA Form 222 for ordering. Acetaminophen/codeine is a Schedule III (or V, depending on the formulation) drug, further confirming that this option is incorrect for the requirement in question.

C) diazepam and zolpidem tartrate.

Diazepam is a Schedule IV controlled substance, and zolpidem tartrate is also classified as a Schedule IV drug. Neither of these substances requires a DEA Form 222 or CSOS for ordering, making this option incorrect.

D) Adderall and Ritalin.

Both Adderall (amphetamine) and Ritalin (methylphenidate) are classified as Schedule II controlled substances. Ordering these medications necessitates the use of a DEA Form 222 or CSOS, confirming this option as correct.

Conclusion

Adderall and Ritalin are the only substances listed that are classified as Schedule II controlled substances, hence requiring specific ordering protocols through a DEA Form 222 or CSOS. The other options consist of substances categorized as Schedule III, IV, or V, which have less stringent ordering requirements, thereby confirming that D is the only correct response.
