Schedule II

Federally regulated substances

Schedule II is a classification in U.S. drug law for substances with high potential for abuse but accepted medical use.

These drugs—including oxycodone, fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine—require strict prescribing protocols: no refills, no phone orders, limited quantities.

The doctor wrote a Schedule II prescription for the pain medication.
