True or false? Hydrocodone is classified as a CII drug in all products, including combo and single-agent forms.

False
True
Depends on the state
Varies by brand

The correct answer is: False

The classification of hydrocodone as a controlled substance varies based on its formulation. While hydrocodone is classified as a Schedule II (CII) substance when it is in single-agent formulations, products that contain hydrocodone in combination with certain non-narcotic ingredients, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, are classified as Schedule III (CIII) substances. This distinction reflects federal regulations, which allow for different scheduling based on the concentration of the narcotic and the presence of other active ingredients. Consequently, saying that hydrocodone is classified as a CII drug in all forms is not accurate, making the assertion false. The answer acknowledges that hydrocodone's classification can change based on the specific formulation, highlighting the importance of understanding both federal and state regulations regarding controlled substances.
