For non-prescription controlled substances other than opium, what is the maximum amount a pharmacist can dispense to a patient over 18 years old in a 48-hour period?

2 oz (60cc)
4 oz (120cc)
6 oz (180cc)
8 oz (240cc)

The correct answer is: 4 oz (120cc)

The correct answer is 4 oz (120cc) for non-prescription controlled substances other than opium that a pharmacist can dispense to a patient over 18 years old in a 48-hour period. This limit is established to ensure safe dispensing practices and to prevent misuse or abuse of controlled substances. By restricting the amount that can be taken at one time, the regulations aim to balance the accessibility of necessary medications while minimizing the risk of dependency or illegal distribution. The specific choice of 4 oz (120cc) reflects careful consideration of the amounts typically required for self-treatment and the potential risks associated with higher quantities.
