(c) The name of the controlled substance dispensed, trade name or generic name;

(d) The name of the patient to whom the controlled substance was dispensed;

(e) The quantity of the controlled substance dispensed.

(3) The inventory and separate dispensing record required by this rule shall be kept in the office of the podiatrist for a period of five (5) years from the date the controlled substances are dispensed and shall be made available for inspection by agents of the Alabama State Board of Podiatry or any law enforcement agency.

(4) Failure to maintain and make available the inventory and separate dispensing record required by this rule shall be considered a failure to maintain effective controls against diversion of controlled substances to other than legitimate podiatric channels and will also be considered a violation of Code of Ala. 1975, § 34-24-276.

(5) The dispensing record shall be in the form set out in Appendix A to Chapter 9.
