What is the concentration of Opium in a Schedule V (CV) controlled substance in mg/ml?

0.5mg/ml
1mg/ml
2mg/ml
2.5mg/ml

The correct answer is: 0.5mg/ml

The correct concentration of opium in a Schedule V controlled substance is 0.5 mg/ml. Schedule V substances can contain specific concentrations of certain narcotics that qualify them for this classification; for opium specifically, the established limit is 0.5 mg/ml. This regulation is rooted in the Controlled Substances Act, which aims to differentiate between substances based on their potential for abuse and therapeutic benefits. Understanding this limit is crucial for compliance in pharmacy practice, ensuring that medications remain within legal guidelines while still being effective for patient use. Other potential concentrations might not meet the criteria set for a Schedule V classification, indicating a higher potential for abuse or a stronger intrinsic effect.
