Anabolic steroids are listed under which controlled substance schedule?

CI
CII
CIII
CIV

The correct answer is: CIII

Anabolic steroids are classified under Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act because they have an accepted medical use but also the potential for abuse and dependency. This scheduling reflects the balancing of the drugs' legitimate therapeutic uses against their potential risks for misuse. Schedule III substances generally include drugs that are less tightly controlled than those in Schedule I or II, which are associated with a higher potential for abuse. Anabolic steroids, while they can enhance physical performance and body appearance, are also recognized for their risks, leading to their classification as Schedule III. This regulatory framework aims to ensure that anabolic steroids are used safely and appropriately while still allowing for their medical usage in certain conditions under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
