I've never seen a package take this path before. I've googled every possible way I could such as "Is Pirenzepine a schedule controlled substance" with no results saying it is. Anyone know? Thanks in advance for any and all info.
Is it sent to you (I presume, in the US?) by a non-US pharmacy? It's not a DEA scheduled drug, but it's also not listed as approved by the FDA. (So it's not available from US pharmacies.) Almost all drugs approved for use in the US are listed in the "Orange Book" (Orange Book: Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations).

A listing of scheduled drugs can be found at Drug Scheduling. (Interesting that the list includes Lyrica/pregabilin, but not gabapentin, even though--I'm told--they act on the same exact receptor.) Pirenzepine is not on that list.
