Alabama Uniform Controlled Substance Act, Code of Alabama 1975, §20‐21 et seq.

While all provisions of this Act are important, particular attention should be paid to Code of

Al 1975, §20‐2‐74 which makes it unlawful for any practitioner of dentistry to prescribe,

administer or dispense any controlled substance enumerated in Schedules II‐IV for any

person not under his treatment in his regular practice of his profession.

RULES

(1) Every dentist certified to dispense controlled substances by the Board of Dental Examiners

of Alabama shall be required to maintain an accurate inventory and separate dispensing record

of all controlled substances in Schedules II through V dispensed in his/her offices. The inventory

shall account for all controlled substances obtained or received by the dentist's office or the

dentist regardless of whether the said controlled substances were purchased or obtained at no

cost.

The dispensing record shall contain the following information:

(a) The date the controlled substance was dispensed;

(b) The method by which the controlled substance was dispensed (i.e., administered in office or

released to patient);

(d) The name of the patient to whom the controlled substance was dispensed; and

(e) The quantity of the controlled substance dispensed.

(2) The inventory and separate dispensing record required by this rule shall be kept in the office

of the dentist for a period of five (5) years from the date the controlled substances are

dispensed and shall be made available for inspection by agents of the Board of Dental

Examiners of Alabama or any law enforcement agency.

(3) Failure to maintain and make available the inventory and separate dispensing record

required by this rule shall be considered a failure to maintain effective controls against

diversion of controlled substances into other than legitimate dental channels.

in his/her office, he/she shall do so in accordance with the procedure for the disposing of

controlled substances established by the Drug Enforcement Agency or pursuant to any rules or

regulations promulgated by that agency.
