A ‘high risk’ medication is a schedule VI medication considered by the DPH Medication Administration Program (MAP) to be at a higher risk level for abuse than other schedule VI medication. Any schedule VI medication, considered by DPH to be high risk, is to be treated as a schedule II-V medication and all MAP Policies for schedule II-V medications apply.
Below is the current list of schedule VI medications considered to be high risk:
