    This document outlines the five drug schedules used to classify controlled substances and the pregnancy categories used to classify drugs' safety during pregnancy. Schedule I drugs, like heroin and LSD, have no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Schedules II-V have accepted medical uses and decreasing abuse potential, with Schedule V drugs having the lowest abuse potential. Pregnancy categories range from Category A (safest) to Category X (contraindicated), with Categories B through D indicating varying levels of risk during pregnancy based on animal and human studies.
