DEA Information/ License applications

Please note, if you do not intend to write any controlled substances prescriptions, you do not need to apply for such a permit with either the state or DEA. See details here. Please be sure you are familiar with those drugs in the controlled substances categories.

If you are going to write for controlled substances, you must register with both the Department of Consumer Protection and the DEA. When filling out the forms, you should select categories II-V, but be sure that you follow current regulations regarding in which settings you may use specific categories.
