What is Naloxone's schedule classification?

  1. Schedule II

  2. Schedule I

  3. Schedule III

  4. Non-scheduled

The correct answer is: Schedule II

Naloxone is classified as a Schedule II drug, which means it has a high potential for abuse and may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence. This classification also means that it has an accepted medical use but can only be obtained with a written prescription from a licensed medical practitioner. Options B and C, Schedule I and III respectively, are incorrect because Schedule I drugs have no accepted medical use and high potential for abuse, while Schedule III drugs have a lower potential for abuse and a currently accepted medical use. On the other hand, option D, non-scheduled, means that the drug is not classified under any of the five schedules and may be less strictly controlled or regulated. This makes option A, Schedule II, the only correct classification for Naloxone.
