What information is required in the bound book for OTC CV purchases?

The correct answer involves documenting the name and quantity of the controlled substance (CS) purchased in the bound book for over-the-counter (OTC) purchases of Schedule V drugs. This requirement is rooted in the legal obligations imposed on pharmacies and pharmacists to maintain accurate records of controlled substances, as established by both federal and state regulations.

The name and quantity of the controlled substance must be recorded to ensure that there is accountability and traceability for the distribution of these medications, which are subject to abuse despite being available without a prescription. This documentation helps in monitoring patterns of use and preventing illegal diversion.

On the other hand, insurance information is not necessary in this context since OTC CV purchases typically do not go through insurance claims, and the date of purchase alone would not provide sufficient information about the transaction. Additionally, including the pharmacist’s personal phone number does not pertain to the legal recording of the purchase details and would not be relevant in the bound book as it does not contribute to tracking medication distribution or ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
