Why It Matters for Diversion Programs
This entry comes from a primary source rather than a federal enforcement release, and it is recorded as reported: Allegedly seen taking two bottles of Promethazine-Codeine Syrup from the pharmacy in December 2023; approximately 46 bottles of Promethazine-Codeine were unaccounted for during times the technician worked at pharmacies from January to December 2022.. Board and news records are a lagging indicator - by the time a licensing authority or a reporter learns of a diversion, the diversion was normally detected internally first, which makes each entry a signal that inventory reconciliation, waste observation or dispensing oversight failed earlier.
