Which schedule is Camphorated tincture of opium classified under?

  1. CI

  2. CII

  3. CIII

  4. CV

The correct answer is: CI

Camphorated tincture of opium is actually classified as a CII substance. This classification is due to the presence of opium and its potential for abuse and dependence. As a controlled substance, it has specific indications for use and is subject to strict regulations regarding its prescription and distribution. Schedule I substances are considered to have no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse; hence, they are strictly prohibited in the United States. On the other hand, Schedule II drugs are recognized for their medical utility but are also highly restricted due to their potential for addiction and misuse. Therefore, camphorated tincture of opium fits into this category. Understanding these schedules is crucial for pharmacy practice, as they delineate the legal parameters within which certain substances can be managed and dispensed.
