Ketamine injection 10 mg/ml falls under which drug schedule in India ?
Answer: B
The answer is Schedule X.
Ketamine has well-known abuse potential as a recreational dissociative drug, and it is also controlled as a psychotropic substance under the NDPS Act. Schedule X of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules is the schedule for such habit-forming drugs, and the Board's key places ketamine injection in it. Schedule X drugs must be kept under lock and key and sold only against a prescription in duplicate, with one copy kept by the pharmacist.
Schedule H and H1 cover ordinary prescription drugs (H1 with an extra register, for some antibiotics and anti-TB drugs), and Schedule G drugs carry a caution to be taken only under medical supervision. Those controls are looser than ketamine's.
