Arizona MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

How many tablets are involved in a 3-gram transaction of Pseudoephedrine HCl 30mg?

1. 62 tablets

2. 92 tablets

3. 123 tablets

4. 184 tablets

The correct answer is: 123 tablets

Pseudoephedrine HCl is a medication commonly used to treat nasal congestion. In the United States, there are strict regulations on the amount of Pseudoephedrine that can be sold or purchased due to its potential use in the production of illegal drugs. These regulations limit the amount of Pseudoephedrine that can be sold and purchased to 3.6 grams per day and 9 grams per month. This means that a 3-gram transaction of Pseudoephedrine HCl 30mg would only involve 123 tablets. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they suggest a higher or lower amount of tablets involved in the transaction.
