View a Controlled Substance Monthly Drug Log

When a user is given EPCS authorization, they are automatically added to the Controlled Substance Monthly Drug Log Notification distribution list and will receive a high priority To-Do List Message on the first day of every month with a subject of “REQUIRED: Controlled Substance Monthly Drug Log Reminder.” This archive contains all of the controlled substance prescriptions issued within the system. The monthly report must be run and reviewed no later than seven calendar days into the current month. Be sure to save a copy of the generated drug log report for your records.
