Which schedule is described as 'Can not be called into pharmacy'?

• A. Schedule II
• B. Schedule III
• C. Schedule IV
• D. Schedule V

Answer: (C)

Prescriptions for controlled substances are organized into schedules that specify how they can be ordered and dispensed. A description saying the prescription cannot be called into a pharmacy means the order must come as a written, signed document rather than conveyed by phone. In this framework, that level of transmission restriction aligns with Schedule IV, where a non–phoned-in prescription is the norm and adds a safeguard to ensure proper documentation and oversight. This requirement helps ensure accuracy and accountability for drugs with abuse potential, while still allowing transmission through written or electronic means. That is why this description points to Schedule IV.
