Schedule IV Controlled Substance

The Controlled Substances Act, passed by Congress in 1970, included the classification of various substances and drugs into a series of five schedules. These are Schedule I, II, II, IV, and V. The schedules are arranged in descending order from substances with the highest potential for abuse to least.

Schedule IV Controlled Substances have less abuse potential than those in schedules I, II, or III.

Parameters for Inclusion in Schedule IV

The classification for Schedule IV substances and drugs stipulates:

(A) The drug or other substance has a low potential for abuse relative to the drugs or other substances in schedules III.

(B) The drug or substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.

(C) Abuse of the drug or other substances may lead to limited physical dependence or psychological dependence relative to the drugs or other substances in schedule III.
