What is DEA form 106 used for?

Theft or loss of controlled substances.
Reporting adverse drug reactions.
Updating prescription drug information.
Requesting DEA number renewal.

The correct answer is: Theft or loss of controlled substances.

DEA Form 106 is used for reporting theft or loss of controlled substances. It is important for pharmacies to promptly report any occurrences of theft or loss of controlled substances to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to comply with regulations and ensure accountability for these substances. Reporting such incidents helps in investigating and preventing potential diversion or misuse of controlled substances, making option A the correct answer. Option B (Reporting adverse drug reactions) is incorrect as this type of reporting is usually done through other forms and channels specifically designed for adverse drug reactions. Option C (Updating prescription drug information) is incorrect as this is typically not the purpose of DEA Form 106. Option D (Requesting DEA number renewal) is also incorrect as DEA Form 106 is not used for this purpose.
