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.
