Free periodic controlled substance inventory form
An inventory form is a point-in-time statement rather than a reconciliation: this is what was physically here, on this date, signed. It is what a new owner, a closing pharmacy or an inspector asks for.
Full packages and part packages are counted separately because that is how the shelf is actually arranged, and forcing a single total is how a sealed bottle and an opened one get conflated.
What is on it
- Drug, strength and DIN
- Full packages, and the package size
- Part packages, with the units remaining
- Total units on hand
- Counted by and verified by, with the date and signatures
When you reach for it
- Opening a new pharmacy, or taking one over.
- Closing, or transferring stock to another location.
- An annual or biannual snapshot filed with the year's records.
How often a Canadian pharmacy has to count, how long a completed sheet must be kept, and the difference between a log and a count sheet are all answered on the count sheets hub. Every sheet prints the Ontario and federal retention rules in its own footer.

The counting is the easy half
Working out what you should have — last count, plus purchased, minus dispensed, minus destroyed, per drug — is the part that takes the afternoon. NarcCount does that arithmetic from records you already keep. See it worked through on one drug or get the data out of your dispensing system.
