Which description describes Schedule II controlled substances?

• A. No medical use in the United States.
• B. High potential for abuse, no medical use.
• C. High potential for abuse, accepted medical use with restrictions (e.g., cocaine, methamphetamine).
• D. Lower potential for abuse, accepted medical use (e.g., anabolic steroids, Xanax, Tylenol with codeine).

Answer: (C)

Schedule II substances are drugs that have a high potential for abuse but do have accepted medical uses with strict restrictions. This fits substances like cocaine and methamphetamine, which can be prescribed or used medically but under tight control due to their potential for misuse.

The other descriptions match different schedules: drugs with no accepted medical use are typically Schedule I, and descriptions of lower abuse potential with accepted medical use describe Schedule IV.
