What additional knowledge and training category allows pharmacists to prescribe drugs for smoking cessation?

  1. Schedule 2 drugs

  2. Unscheduled drugs

  3. Schedule 3 drugs

  4. Benzodiazepines

The correct answer is: Schedule 3 drugs

Pharmacists can already prescribe Schedule 2 drugs and unscheduled drugs within their scope of practice. These drugs may include medications for hypertension or diabetes. Benzodiazepines, on the other hand, are not related to smoking cessation and are used for conditions such as anxiety and insomnia. Therefore, the additional knowledge and training category that allows pharmacists to prescribe drugs for smoking cessation is Schedule 3 drugs, which include medications for nicotine dependence.
