Can you order schedule IV with a 222 form?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I've never heard of someone doing it but I was definitely taught that you theoretically could

I'm going to guess here.

There are shortages here recently of various strengths of alprazolam, clonazepam, and lorazepam. However, pharmacies no longer have access to Cardinal ordering. If something is needed, it needs to be out of stocked on RxConnect on an actual prescription. For a long time, pharmacies were putting in dummy scripts to bypass this nonsense, but corporate has put a stop to it.

222 Forms can't be controlled (and subsequently have their orders denied) by CVS' inventory system.

So this could be a great method to bypass CVS' terrible, non-functional inventory system.

I'm intrigued. If anyone actually tries it, tell me how it works out.
 
Why create extra work? Did you accidentally write C IV drug on dea 222 form?

No - I need a creative solution which by nature usually always carries extra work. Why I need to do it is an absurd situation that is out of my control. And - no boo boo was made I am just considering writing in some civ and see what happens.

Anyone ever try it?
 
Yup, I was always taught you could order ANY drug - even non-scheduled - on these forms.
 
So assuming one can order like this...

How about record keeping? Normal invoice is filed in the C3-5 folder, and the 222 is filed with the other executed 222 forms (normal C2 orders)? And DEA gets their copy of the form just like normal? Would any record-keeping requirements be altered?

The only law about sorting has to do with scripts. 222 forms just go with the other 222 forms.
 
I would think that if you used a 222 for for anything other than a cii you could just keep one copy in store, one copy at the other end, and throw away the dea copy.. right?
