Pregabalin is classified under which schedule of controlled substances in Arizona?

CII
CIII
CIV
CV

The correct answer is: CII

The correct classification for pregabalin in Arizona is that it is a Schedule IV controlled substance. This means it has a lower potential for abuse compared to substances classified as Schedule II or Schedule III. Schedule IV drugs are recognized for certain therapeutic benefits but are regulated due to their potential for dependence and abuse. Drugs classified as Schedule II, like some opioids, have higher restrictions due to their significant risk of addiction and abuse, which is not the case with pregabalin. Additionally, Schedule III and Schedule V substances have different regulatory requirements and lower potential for abuse, which does not accurately reflect the classification of pregabalin. Understanding these classifications helps in grasping the legal framework surrounding the prescription and dispensing of these medications within the state.
