Market Summary

Maintaining organized, detailed, and accurate records for controlled substances is critical for pharmacies. All controlled substance records are required to be retained for two years following controlled substance disposal and these records must be readily retrievable for inspections. In many pharmacies, controlled substance records are still handwritten, which may be difficult to read and can lead to calculation errors. In addition, these logbooks can become very large and cumbersome over time.
