Controlled Substance Database

Welcome!

Utah's Controlled Substance Database Program (CSD) is a resource that assists prescribing practitioners and pharmacists in providing efficient care for their patients' and customers' usage of controlled substances.

The Utah Controlled Substance Database Program was legislatively created and put into effect on July 1, 1995. The CSD collects data on the dispensing of Schedule II-V drugs from all retail, institutional, and outpatient hospital pharmacies, and in-state/out-of-state mail order pharmacies. The data is disseminated to authorized individuals and used to identify potential cases of drug over-utilization, misuse, and over-prescribing of controlled substances throughout the state.

How it Works

Utah law requires all outpatient pharmacies report dispensing a controlled substance prescription (schedules II – V) on a daily basis, either in real-time or a batch file.

Please note that information in the Controlled Substance Database will not contain information from the following, as they are not required to report to the Utah program:

  • Prescriptions filled at federal facilities (military or VA);
  • Prescriptions filled at pharmacies licensed by other states; or
  • Controlled substances administered in an in-patient setting.

Comments and concerns about the CSD program can be submitted by email at csd@utah.gov.

Proxy Access

Licensed Practitioners with a Controlled Substance License may request proxy access to the CSD for properly trained designees. Designees will be granted a unique log-in and may then access the CSD on behalf of the practitioner.

While there is no limit on the number of designees a practitioner may have, the practitioner is responsible for each designee, and any searches performed. Practitioners must notify the Division immediately of any disassociation of a designee.

To apply for Proxy Access:

  1. Download and complete the Application Form
  2. Have EACH prescriber/dispenser complete an Affidavit of Practice (second page of the application).
