Correct answer: C — Methylphenidate requires safe custody; pregabalin does not usually require safe custody
Methylphenidate is a Schedule 2 controlled drug and is subject to safe custody requirements. Pregabalin is Schedule 3 but is exempt from safe custody requirements in routine pharmacy practice. Accurate stock handling remains important for both medicines.
