Methamphetamine is classified under which schedule?

CI
CII
CIII
CIV

The correct answer is: CII

Methamphetamine is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance. This classification indicates that methamphetamine has a high potential for abuse, leading to severe psychological or physical dependence, but it is also recognized for having accepted medical uses in the United States. Schedule II substances are available only through a prescription, which must adhere to specific legal requirements due to the risks associated with misuse and addiction. The Schedule II designation reflects the balance between the medical benefits of the substance and its potential for harm, which is particularly pertinent for methamphetamine, as it can be prescribed for certain conditions, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or obesity, under strict regulations. This classification is a vital aspect of pharmacy jurisprudence, ensuring that such substances are managed responsibly and safely.
