dependence. High psychological dependence; by prescription only, which expires in 6 months.
Maximum of five refills on one script. Examples: Tylenol with codeine and hydrocodone
Schedule IV - CORRECT ANSWER -Less abuse potential than C-III; accepted medical use; limited
physical and psychological dependence; written or verbal prescription, expires in 6 months;
maximum of five refills on one script. Examples: Librium, and valium.
Schedule V - CORRECT ANSWER -Limited abuse potential; accepted medical use; small amounts
of narcotics used as antitussives (cough medicine) or antidiarrheals; may not need a
