Controlled Substance Act (CSA) The Controlled Substance Act (CSA) Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 is a federal policy under which the manufacture, importation, possession, use and distribution of certain chemicals, considered dangerous, are regulated. The federal department known as the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is tasked with regulating and supervising prescription and non-prescription drugs; foods; biologics; and medical devices. The mission of the FDA is to establish safety and efficacy of the products it regulates. Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) outlines the laws as they pertain to food and drug.US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) The US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is the federal agency responsible for enforcing the CSA. The agency coordinates with local, state and federal agents to reduce the availability of illicit drugs in the US markets and prosecute violators of the laws. Regulations are in place to help prevent abuse, trafficking, and diversion.The DEA provides an informational outline of the CSA for providers and pharmacists. You are encouraged to download a copy for your own reference and practice. The DEA's "Significant Guidance Documents" can be found on the deadiversion.usdoj.gov website.The US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is the federal agency responsible for enforcing the CSA.

practice. The DEA's "Significant Guidance Documents" can be found on the deadiversion.usdoj.gov website.DEA numbers consist of 2 letters followed by 7 numbers.The first letter identifies the type of provider: A=before 1985; B=after 1985; F=after 2007; M=nurse practitioner or physician assistant The 2nd letter of the registration is the 1st letter of the provider's last name at the time of initial registration
Here is an example: Tammy Greene applies for and receives a DEA number of
MG2705208
M=nurse practitioner and G=Greene While most pharmacy computer systems now have the ability to verify is a DEA number is authentic, there is a manual formula that can be applied to help identify authenticity. This is for informational purposes only but to verify a DEA number, a
pharmacist can follow this equation:
- Add the 1st, 3rd and 5th digit.
- Add the 2nd, 4th and 6th digits, and then multiple the sum by 2.
- Add the results from steps 1 and 2.
- The last number of this final sum should be the same as the seventh number of
the DEA.
