Pharmaceutical Drug Controlled Substances
The Controlled Substance Act was passed as Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970. It has schedules for the control of 5 classifications of drugs. The US Food and Drug Administration and the US Drug Enforcement Administration classify drugs within these schedules.
The schedules are based on their potential for abuse, accepted medical use, and accepted safety under medical supervision. Substances in Schedule I have a high potential for abuse, no accredited medical use, and a lack of accepted safety. From Schedules II to V, substances decrease in potential for abuse. These schedules are maintained for the control of the drugs and require strict recordkeeping or approval to handle drugs of different classifications.
Contract Laboratory has helped manufacturers of various schedules of drugs outsource their testing and research to laboratories. Below are examples of how Contract Laboratory helped in the outsourcing of Scheduled drugs. If your pharmaceutical company needs to outsource its laboratory research, testing, or analysis, Submit a Laboratory Test Request or Contact Us for more information.
