Carisoprodol (SOMA) is classified under which Controlled Substance Schedule?

  1. Schedule I

  2. Schedule II

  3. Schedule III

  4. Schedule IV

The correct answer is: Schedule I

Carisoprodol, commonly known by its brand name SOMA, is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance. This classification is based on its potential for abuse, which is considered to be lower than that of substances in Schedules I through III. Schedule IV substances have accepted medical uses in the United States but can still lead to physical or psychological dependence. In summary, the correct classification of carisoprodol as a Schedule IV controlled substance reflects the regulatory framework that acknowledges its therapeutic effects while also monitoring its potential for misuse. This understanding helps ensure that it is prescribed and used safely in clinical practice.
