What is the limit for Ethylmorphine under CIII per dosage unit?

1mg / dosage unit
15mg / dosage unit
18mg / dosage unit
90mg / dosage unit

The correct answer is: 1mg / dosage unit

The correct limit for Ethylmorphine under Schedule III, according to federal regulations, is 15 mg per dosage unit. Ethylmorphine, although it is a derivative of morphine, is classified under Schedule III due to its potential for abuse, but the limits are designed to strike a balance between controlling misuse and allowing for therapeutic use. As far as the specific dosage limit, it is essential for pharmacy professionals to be aware of the legal classifications and limits of controlled substances to ensure compliance with federal and state laws. Ethylmorphine has specific constraints that distinguish it from other opioids, emphasizing the need for adherence to these regulations in practice. The other choices reflect limits that exceed the legal restriction for Ethylmorphine, which could lead to misunderstandings in prescribing, dispensing, or regulatory compliance in the pharmacy setting. Understanding these limits helps maintain patient safety and proper medication management.
