What is the maximum allowable amount of Dihydrocodeine per dosage unit under CIII?

  1. 15mg / dosage unit

  2. 18mg / dosage unit

  3. 3mg / dosage unit

  4. 90mg / dosage unit

The correct answer is: 15mg / dosage unit

The maximum allowable amount of Dihydrocodeine per dosage unit under Schedule III regulations is indeed 15 mg. This standard is set by the Controlled Substances Act, which categorizes narcotic drugs based on their potential for abuse, dependence, and therapeutic use. For Schedule III controlled substances, the law specifies that narcotic drugs in combination with non-narcotic ingredients must not exceed certain limits per dosage unit, with Dihydrocodeine specifically capped at 15 mg to prevent misuse while still allowing for its therapeutic use in managing pain. Understanding these limits helps pharmacists ensure compliance with both federal and state regulations while providing safe and effective care for patients.
