The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) registration is necessary for pharmacies to legally handle and dispense controlled substances.

    Explanation
    When it comes to moves or name changes, new permits must be obtained before the change actually takes place. This implies that the necessary permits and paperwork should be completed prior to the move or name change occurring. Therefore, the statement "New permits as a result of moves/name changes must be done before the change takes place" is true.

    When a medication is newly scheduled or moved to a new schedule, the manufacturer must have proper marking in place before any prescription for that medication can be filled.

    The statement is true because the phrase "at least bi-annually" means that inventory must be taken at least twice a year. This ensures that the inventory is regularly checked and updated, allowing the company to have an accurate record of its stock levels. By conducting inventory at least bi-annually, the company can identify any discrepancies, such as missing or excess items, and take appropriate actions to maintain an efficient inventory management system.

According to the Controlled Substances Act, doctors are allowed to provide multiple prescriptions for Schedule II medications under certain circumstances, such as when the patient requires a long-term treatment plan or when the medication is needed for a terminally ill patient. This allows for partial fills over a period of time, as long as it is clearly documented on the prescription.
