Fagron, Inc. is proud to offer CSOS, the ability to order Controlled Substance Schedule II API's electronically.
WHAT IS CSOS?
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Controlled Substance Ordering System (CSOS) allows for secure electronic transmission of controlled substance orders without the need for the paper DEA Form 222. Each individual purchaser enrolls to receive a Digital Certificate that provides a digital signature. Once enrolled, CSOS subscribers have ordering freedom to complete orders electronically with no line item limit for a single order. Ease of ordering will allow pharmacies to place orders more frequently which will allow for a reduction in inventory and just-in-time ordering. Using CSOS helps the supplier to quickly validate purchasing information for a faster transaction. Order accuracy and decreased paperwork will also result in a reduced transaction cost.
How do I enroll in CSOS?
To get a digital certification, a DEA registrant must enroll in the CSOS program through the DEA website. Generally, the registrant is the person currently responsible for signing the DEA Form 222.
