How many medication items can be ordered per DEA Form 222?

• A. 2 items
• B. 5 items
• C. 10 items
• D. 20 items

Answer: (C)

DEA Form 222 is designed with 10 line entries for item details. Each line lets you specify a different controlled substance (name, form, strength) and the quantity to be delivered, so a single form can authorize up to ten items. This is why the maximum number of medication items you can order on one Form 222 is ten. If more items are needed, you’d issue additional forms or use an electronic ordering system like CSOS.
