What form must a community pharmacy use to purchase grain alcohol for compounding purposes?

To purchase grain alcohol for compounding purposes, a community pharmacy must use the ATF 11 form. Grain alcohol, also known as ethanol, falls under the jurisdiction of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), which is part of the Department of the Treasury. The ATF 11 is specifically designed for the purchase of industrial alcohols that are often used in compounding and other applications.

In contrast, forms like the DEA Form 222 are used for the purchase of controlled substances, while the DEA Form 106 is typically used to report the theft or loss of controlled substances. The ATF 12 does not pertain to the purchase of grain alcohol either. Therefore, understanding the appropriate use of the ATF 11 form is crucial for pharmacists who wish to legally obtain grain alcohol for their compounding needs.
