The DEA 106 form is used for what purpose?

• A. For reporting theft or loss
• B. For initiating a new prescription
• C. For reporting medication adverse events
• D. For state licensing

Answer: (A)

DEA Form 106 is used to report the theft or loss of controlled substances to the Drug Enforcement Administration. It is the official channel for registrants to document what was stolen or lost, when it happened, which substances were involved, and the circumstances surrounding the incident (often including whether police were notified and any investigation details). This helps regulatory authorities monitor potential diversion and take appropriate action. It’s not for initiating prescriptions, reporting medication adverse events, or handling state licensing, which are addressed through separate processes.
