Why do medications need to be classified into schedules?

Not all medication needs to be classified as a scheduled drug. Drugs that are scheduled drugs are usually; Amphetamines (Ritalin, Cocaine, etc.) THC (Marijuana) Barbiturates (Phenobarbital, etc.) Opiates (Oxycodone (Percocet), Hydrocodone (Vicodin), Heroin, etc.) LSD PCP Benzodiazepenes (Klonopin, Kpins, Clonazepam, Xanax, Lorazepam (Ativan), etc Sleep Medication such as Ambien, and Lunesta with psychodelic properties. This is because these drugs have either little or high risk for abuse...and are scheduled also because they are not to be held by any body other than whom the medication was prescribed for. For instance, if you have 2 Cymbalta pills for depression, and I get caught with them by the police - It is possible that I will go to jail, but the drug is not a Scheduled chemical, therefore, there is no risk that I am selling or using for any illegal purposes. If I get caught with Vicodin, and I do not have a prescription for it, then my a** will go to jail, with only a small chancel, like 1% that I won't if I have good use. Look up scheduled drugs on Wikipedia, you will learn more than asking questions on WIKI ANSWERS.

This is normal, however, keep in mind that Lortab is a scheduled substance and is an addictive medication, physically and mentally. Caution should be used when taking this medication. If you have concerns about it, consult your prescribing doctor.


What is the controlled substance class for feldene?

Feldene (piroxicam) is not a controlled medication. It is in the class of NSAIDS or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that are used to treat inflmmation and joint pain. (Ibuprofen and Aleve are also NSAIDS). There are no risks for developing tolerance to this medication nor is there a withdrawl when the medicine is abruptly stopped. These medications must be considered habit-forming. These are the main criteria that a med must fit into in order to be placed as a Scheduled 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 medication. All non-addictive medications are not placed in a Scheduled category. While Feldene is used for pain, it is chemically different than other pain pills like oxycodone or morphine (both are scheduled 2 meds). That is why Feldene does not meet the requirements. Hope this helps! S.Z. CPhT, RN
