Which controlled substance schedule includes Dronabinol?

  1. CI

  2. CII

  3. CIII

  4. CV

The correct answer is: CI

Dronabinol, which is a synthetic form of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), is classified as a Schedule III controlled substance. This classification reflects its accepted medical use in treating severe nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy and as an appetite stimulant in patients with AIDS. While some may mistakenly think Dronabinol falls under Schedule I due to its derived nature from cannabis, Schedule I substances are those that have no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Dronabinol, on the other hand, is recognized for its therapeutic applications and thus does not fit the criteria for Schedule I. Understanding the schedules of controlled substances is crucial for pharmacy practice, as it dictates the legal handling, prescribing, and dispensing of these medications.
