The DEA Form 41, officially titled "Inventory of Drugs Surrendered," is required whenever DEA registrants voluntarily destroy controlled substances. Pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and other DEA-registered entities must complete this form before destruction occurs. The form captures essential data: the controlled substance name, DEA schedule, quantity, lot number, and method of destruction used. Two authorized witnesses must sign DEA Form 41, attesting to the destruction date, location, and method employed. Acceptable methods include incineration, non-retrievable chemical treatment, and authorized mail-back programs. DEA registrants must retain completed copies for a minimum of two years, as DEA inspectors may request this documentation during compliance audits. Failure to file or retain DEA Form 41 records can result in regulatory violations and potential suspension of your DEA registration.
