Introduction
These drugs are classified as the most dangerous by the DEA and are known as Class I substances. Illegal drugs are categorized in Maine under Schedule I, which determines the severity of the consequences associated with the drug.
These drugs contain the following: At the time of the crime, the person must have a or more convictions for infringement:
1) heroin or diacetylmorphine;
2) cocaine
3) cocaine in any form or cocaine base
4) oxycodone
5) hydrocodone

8) fentanyl powder.
Schedule X drugs are a class of prescription drugs in India that can only be bought over-the-counter without a valid prescription from a registered and certified physician.
List X includes all narcotics and psychopharmaceuticals based on substances as listed in the draft rules. Schedule X means a list of medicines that may only be imported, and the manufacture, sale, labeling, and packaging are subject to specific regulations. For Class X drugs, retailers must keep a copy of the prescription for at least two years, and the Class X Medicines Symbol (XRX) must appear in the upper left corner of the label.

Classifications
The federal government’s Controlled Substances Act classifies drugs as substances with specific chemical uses and divides them into five different categories or “timetables,” depending on whether the drug has accepted medical uses and its potential for abuse and dependence.
Annex I contains provisions for the classification of medicines in the form of fees, standards, and requirements for prescriptions relating to medicines and cosmetics under the 1940 drug and cosmetics law and the 1945 rules. List X includes narcotics and psychotropic substances based on the drugs contained in the draft rule.
List X includes all narcotics and psychopharmaceuticals based on substances as listed in the draft rules. Schedule X means a list of medicines that may only be imported, and the manufacture, sale, labeling, and packaging are subject to specific regulations. For Class X drugs, retailers must keep a copy of the prescription for at least two years, and the Class X Medicines Symbol (XRX) must appear in the upper left corner of the label.
Class Y drugs include certain prescription drugs such as codeine, diazepam, and phenobarbital. List K consists of medicines excluded from the chapter of the Medicines and Cosmetics Act of 1945, which deals with the manufacture, sale, and distribution of medicines and cosmetics. The requirements set out in 1245 (7) are specified for each drug category.
Schedule X Drugs In Retail Stores
- For each drug, a separate page must be maintained and registered with the following information.
- The name of the patient or owner of the animal for which veterinary medicine is prescribed, as indicated by the doctor.
- The time of submission, the note of the prescription signature, the name of the prescriber, the address of the seller, and the date of submission of the prescription.
- When a patient buys a Schedule X drug, the pharmacy usually has to submit a valid prescription from the pharmacist.
- Each medicine in list X requires three copies of the prescription: from the doctor, from the patient, and from the pharmacist.
All Schedule H1 drugs require a copy of a prescription before they can be sold to a pharmacist. Prescription class H drugs alone cannot be sold without a prescription.
Schedule X medicines may be sold on the basis of a prescription from an approved physician, but only up to the amount specified in the prescription that the physician must sell.
Labels On Schedule X Drugs
Under the new draft regulation, all medicinal products and substances on list G must be labeled with a warning that it is dangerous to take the product without medical supervision, in legible black letters, and the size of a red rectangular box.
The warning also states that anyone taking the drug must be medically monitored and must not be sold without a doctor’s prescription. In drugstores, all possible instructions must be given to the manufacturer on the label.
Packaging containing medicine or substance listed in Schedule H, Schedule H1, Schedule G, or Schedule X must bear the label symbol (RX) in the upper left corner. Medicinal products in cosmetics are excluded from List H (annexed paragraph 3), with the exception of the inclusion of salts, esters, derivatives, steroid preparations, topical preparations, and external covers in List H.
Regulations
A license to sell, store, issue, sell or distribute medicines not listed in Schedule C and C-1, as well as retail and limited wholesale licenses, is issued on Form 20 (in some cases on Form 20-A and Form 20-B). An import license (i.e. A license on Form 10-A) for the import of drugs excluded from the specified list X and a license (on Form 10-A) for the import of medicines listed in List X. This provides for the prohibition of changing the labeling of containers, labels or packaging of medicines.
The FDA requires retailers and wholesalers to apply for a specific Schedule X drug license when they intend to store, store, sell or distribute such drugs. All supplies available on their premises must be returned to the wholesaler concerned. Most online pharmacies require a scanned copy of a valid prescription from a certified physician before selling Schedule X drugs. Drug users can get access to Schedule X drugs through retail pharmacy owners who bribe them with extra money, and lack of vigilance allows them to circumvent the law and store prescription records to sell Schedule I drugs.
At present, the role of pharmacists in India is limited to collecting prescriptions and dispensing medicines. However, online pharmacies have proved to be heroes when it comes to tackling substance abuse.
Lastly
The 1945 Medicines and Cosmetics Directives contain provisions for classifying medicines into different timetables and guidelines for storing, selling, and issuing prescription medicines according to each timetable. Schedule X was added in 2013 to review the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, tuberculosis, and other drugs in the country. In this way, Class I narcotics, prescription drugs, and some other drugs have made the industry safer.
