Which of the following is true about Schedule III drugs?

Schedule III drugs are classified by the Controlled Substances Act as having a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence. This classification reflects an acknowledgment that while these substances can be abused, the potential for abuse is less than that of Schedule I and II substances.

Additionally, Schedule III drugs may lead to moderate or low physical dependence, which distinguishes them from lower Schedule classifications. This aspect emphasizes the importance of monitoring and regulation of these substances to prevent misuse or addiction. Other classifications, such as Schedule IV, feature a lower potential for abuse but do not address whether they may lead to dependence or abuse in the same manner.

While it's true that Schedule III drugs have some requirements regarding quantity limits on prescriptions, they do not have specific federal quantity limits like controlled substances in higher schedules. Therefore, recognizing the moderate potential for dependence is fundamental to understanding their place in the pharmacological landscape.
