The main point to consider in determining what schedule or class a drug falls under is this: The lower scheduled drugs have less reputable medical value, are illegal, have the most appeal as "street drugs" and therefore the most potential for addiction, abuse and overdose. Examples are cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. Contrarily, the higher numbered scheduled drugs remain the safest drugs.
A schedule 5 drug is legal, the "least" addicting, and has the highest medicinal value. These drugs are therefore the widest prescribed medications, as they can be safely prescribed to the greatest number of people with the widest range of ailments and uses.
Schedule 5 drugs often include schedule 4 drugs though in limited milligrams [quantities/strength]. The same holds true of schedule 4 drugs containing schedule 3 drugs, again with lower strength and lower dosage. These drugs can include aspirin, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, even opiate based medications, as long as both the quantity and quality are super low. The Federal Drug Administration has set forth exact guidelines for pharmaceutical companies to comply with. An example of a schedule 5 drug containing a schedule 4 drug would be Tylenol 3's that contains Acetaminophen coupled with Codeine [an opiate derivative].
