Resources for Drug List

The DEA web site provides a Federal list of scheduled drugs at http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/schedules/schedules.htm

The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services publishes a Kentucky scheduled drug list that is available at: http://chfs.ky.gov/NR/rdonlyres/0C2AC747-BCDF-4031-85A8-8D81991C8378/0/ScheduledDrugList1.rtf

Drug references, as part of the description of the drug, will also provide the schedule of a drug; but remember, these lists are most likely based on the Federal scheduled list. Some drugs are exempted on the Federal list, but they may be scheduled by the state.

If in doubt about the schedule of a drug, check with your local pharmacist, or the Drug Control Branch in Frankfort, at 502-564-7985.
