Zusammenfassung:	Provided are methods and systems for tracking a drug. Information associated with a drug is received from at least a code reader that scans a code associated with a drug container, and a drug server that receives information from a drug storage device storing an inventory of drugs. The drug container associated with the code scanned by the code reader is selected from the inventory of drugs. A result of a comparison of information included in: (i) the information obtained in response to reading the computer-readable code, and (ii) the portion of the drug removal information received from the drug server is obtained. Issuance of an alert is controlled based on the result of the comparison indicating that a conflict exists.
