Schedule III substances, defined under the Controlled Substances Act, include drugs with a currently accepted medical use in the U.S. and a moderate to low potential for physical dependence or high psychological dependence. These substances have a lower abuse potential compared to Schedule I and II drugs but remain tightly regulated.

The DEA certificate signifies that ProRx has met stringent federal requirements related to security, recordkeeping, and accountability. In addition to this new designation, the company also maintains FDA 503B Outsourcing Facility Registration, state pharmacy board licensure, and full compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).
