We Do Not Sell
Controlled Medications

At GoodRxMedicine, we do not sell, supply, promote, or facilitate the purchase of any controlled substances or medications regulated under national or international drug control laws. We are firmly committed to upholding the highest standards of patient safety, legal compliance, and ethical pharmaceutical distribution.

Our operations are conducted in full compliance with applicable drug control frameworks, including but not limited to:


  • The US Controlled Substances Act (CSA)
  • Regulations enforced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
  • International treaties such as:
    • The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961)
    • The Convention on Psychotropic Substances (1971)
    • The United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (1988)

We also acknowledge and consider guidance issued by the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), which monitors the implementation of these international treaties and provides country-specific recommendations to promote consistency and compliance in global drug control practices.


We do not engage in the distribution of any controlled substances listed under these or any other frameworks governing the sale and distribution of controlled medications.


We support safe, lawful, and medically appropriate treatments.

What are Controlled Medications

Controlled medications (also known as controlled substances) are pharmaceutical compounds that are strictly regulated by national and international authorities due to their potential for abuse, dependence, and misuse.


The classification, regulation, and legal control of these substances are based on binding international treaties administered under the United Nations framework, including:


  • The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961)
  • The Convention on Psychotropic Substances (1971)
  • The Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (1988)

The implementation of these treaties is monitored by the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), which also provides country-specific guidelines to support uniform compliance and regulatory oversight globally.


These treaties guide national laws such as the U.S. Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and similar frameworks internationally. Based on these conventions and INCB guidance, countries classify controlled substances into schedules or categories that reflect their medical utility and risk potential.
