Study Notes
Schedules of Controlled Substances
- Controlled substances are categorized into five schedules by the CSA based on accepted medical use and abuse potential.
- Schedule I substances have no accepted medical use, high abuse potential, and lack of safety for medical supervision.
- Schedule II substances have high abuse potential but are accepted for medical use with severe restrictions, potentially leading to severe dependence.
- Schedules III to V include substances with progressively lower abuse potential and more recognized medical uses.
Schedule I Controlled Substances
- Examples include heroin, LSD, marijuana (cannabis), peyote, methaqualone, and MDMA.
- These substances cannot be prescribed or dispensed for medical purposes.
Schedule II Controlled Substances
- Includes narcotics such as morphine, codeine, opium, hydrocodone (found in products like Vicodin and Lortab), hydromorphone, methadone, meperidine, oxycodone, and fentanyl.
- Stimulants include amphetamine (Adderall), methamphetamine, methylphenidate (Ritalin), and lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse).
- Other substances: cocaine, amobarbital, and glutethimide.
Schedule III Controlled Substances
- Lower abuse potential than schedules I and II, with accepted medical uses.
- Examples include morphine combo products, codeine combination products (e.g., Tylenol with codeine), buprenorphine products, benzphetamine, phendimetrazine, ketamine, and anabolic steroids like oxandrolone.
Schedule IV Controlled Substances
- Substances have low potential for abuse, accepted medical use, and limited dependence relative to schedule III.
- Examples: Tramadol, alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin), diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), midazolam (Versed), and temazepam (Restoril).
Schedule V Controlled Substances
- Possess the lowest abuse potential and accepted medical uses, often used for antitussive and analgesic purposes.
- Examples include cough preparations like Robitussin AC with not more than 200 mg of codeine per 100 mL or grams.
Scheduled Listed Chemical Products (SLCP)
