What is the course of action of an authorized agent after finding an adulterated or misbranded drug?

  1. Confiscate it

  2. Report it

  3. Mark it, quarantine it, sample it, process it

  4. Destroy it immediately

The correct answer is: Mark it, quarantine it, sample it, process it

Once an authorized agent discovers an adulterated or misbranded drug, they must mark it for identification, quarantine it to prevent further distribution, and sample it for further analysis. The next step would be to process the drug, which involves initiating legal proceedings and filing a report. Simply confiscating or destroying the drug immediately without following proper protocols and obtaining evidence could hinder potential legal action or further investigation. Reporting the incident is important, but it is not the primary course of action for the agent in this situation.
