What does “schedule” mean for levorphanol?
In the US, “schedule” usually refers to how a drug is classified under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA)—for example, Schedule I, II, III, IV, or V. Levorphanol is a controlled opioid analgesic, and its CSA schedule determines how it can be prescribed, dispensed, and stored.
What is levorphanol’s controlled-substance schedule?
Levorphanol is a Schedule II controlled substance in the United States.

Is levorphanol schedule the same everywhere?
Drug scheduling can differ by country. If you tell me which country (or state/province), I can narrow the answer to the correct legal schedule for that jurisdiction.
