Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance under Florida and federal law. A TRT clinic therefore needs a controlled-substance workflow in addition to its ordinary medical-practice workflow — covering prescriber authority and DEA registration, ordering, storage, dispensing, custody, records, telehealth, and PDMP obligations where applicable.

What should an owner ask about controlled-substance handling?
Which prescribers have the required authority and current DEA registration? How is testosterone ordered and where is it dispensed? Does the clinic keep controlled inventory, and who has access? Is medication administered onsite or taken home? How are records maintained? How does telehealth fit — and what happens when a prescriber leaves?
Can a clinic leave controlled-substance compliance to the pharmacy?
Do not treat controlled-substance compliance as “the pharmacy handles that.” The prescriber, clinic workflow, pharmacy, and medication custody each carry separate responsibilities.
Owner takeaway
TRT is not just another wellness add-on — testosterone changes the clinic’s prescribing and medication-governance profile. Confirm DEA, storage, and PDMP requirements with counsel. (Reviewed August 2026; verify current rules.)
