Which of the following antidepressants is included in Schedule III?

Dronabinol in sesame oil is listed as a Schedule III substance due to its medical use in treating nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and appetite stimulation in patients with AIDS. It is derived from cannabis, which contributes to its classification under the Controlled Substances Act.

The other antidepressants mentioned, such as fluoxetine, amitriptyline, and sertraline, do not have the same regulatory classification as they are typically listed as Schedule IV or are not controlled substances at all. Fluoxetine and sertraline are widely used SSRIs that are not considered controlled substances, while amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, is not classified under the Controlled Substances Act either.

Understanding the classifications of substances within the Controlled Substances Act is crucial for pharmacy practice, especially in terms of prescribing, dispensing, and monitoring controlled medications to ensure compliance with regulations.
