Pentobarbital suppository falls under which schedule?

CI
CII

The correct answer is: CIII

Pentobarbital is classified as a barbiturate and is primarily used for its sedative and anticonvulsant properties. In the context of the federal Controlled Substances Act, pentobarbital is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance. This classification is due to its high potential for abuse and dependence. While some formulations of barbiturates are categorized in other schedules, pentobarbital itself does not fall under Schedule III or lower. Instead, it remains in Schedule II because of the associated risks of abuse, overdose, and the strict regulations governing its prescription and distribution. Therefore, the correct classification for pentobarbital suppositories is Schedule II, which reflects the severe restrictions that apply to their use and distribution.
