DEA Audits and Investigations.

What a Drug Enforcement Administration Audit or Inspection Can Mean for Your Pharmacy

Aside from routine audits and inspections, a DEA audit can be a concerning matter. A search warrant may be obtained to investigate, or the DEA may request to inspect your facility. As a result of prescription drug abuse, the DEA has stepped up its monitoring and intervention in matters they find problematic. This can mean serious consequences for everyone involved in the process if things don't add up correctly. Pharmacy store owners, pharmacy managers, pharmacists, and technicians are all held accountable for the monitoring and responsibility of prescription drugs. In most cases, controlled substances are likely to be the target of the investigation. If you're facing a DEA audit or have received indications that point to an audit being likely, you'll want to contact a highly skilled attorney to represent you.
