Controlled Substances are What the DEA are consider dependent drugs of harm from low risk to high risk

The DEA categorize these drugs as schedules, 0/1-5

0 being very harmful and addictive to 5 being potentially but very unlikely.

Because these Drugs are consider to be harmful the DEA requires all RX(prescriptions) that are controlled be regulated with DEA numbers and DPS numbers to log them, and keep track of them.

---

However Antibiotics are not a schedule drugs, and no DEA number is needed for a RX of antibiotics ;so they are not classified as controlled substances because they are not addictive

Controlled substance basically means in pharmacy addictive drugs.
