Schedule drugs are substances that are controlled, in other words, have stricter guidelines for dispensing due to the potential for abuse. Schedule I are illegal substances such as heroine. Schedule II are the ones that have a high potential for abuse but have shown a significant medical benefit for use such as methadone or oxycontin. Schedule III, IV, and V have potential for abuse but are generally dispensed under similar guidelines. Essentially, the lower the drug Schedule, the harsher the penalty if used or possessed improperly.

In Canada oxycodone is a schedule I drug under The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA).

Other examples of schedule I drugs are Methamphetamine, Ketamine, PCP, Cocaine, Morphine, and Fentanyl. In The United Kingdom oxycodone is a Class A drug under The Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA). Like Canada, The UK does not separate illegal drugs from those with a medical use. Other examples of Class A drugs include Fentanyl, LSD, Methamphetamine, Morphine, and Diamorphine (heroin). Internationally oxycodone is a schedule I drug ('yellow list') under The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, an international treaty. It should also be noted that the term 'narcotic' has many different meanings. Scientifically only opioids (morphine, heroin, oxycodone) are narcotics however most law ambiguously uses the term narcotic to encompass other drugs. Depending on the law narcotic may be used very selectively or broadly.
