Which of the following is an example of a Schedule III drug?

  1. Methamphetamine

  2. Heroin

  3. Testosterone

  4. Cocaine

The correct answer is: Testosterone

Testosterone is classified as a Schedule III drug due to its recognized medical uses and the potential for misuse, albeit not as high as Schedule I or II substances. Schedule III drugs are those that have a lower potential for abuse than drugs in Schedules I or II and may lead to moderate or low physical dependence or high psychological dependence. Testosterone is commonly prescribed for hormone replacement therapy and other medical conditions, reflecting its accepted therapeutic applications while still being regulated to prevent misuse. The other options, such as methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine, are classified under Schedules I and II, which indicate they have a higher potential for abuse and addiction, thus subjected to stricter controls.
