What is the maximum amount of dihydrocodeine allowed in a Schedule V compound per 100 gm or ml?

50 mg
75 mg
100 mg
125 mg

The correct answer is: 100 mg

The maximum amount of dihydrocodeine allowed in a Schedule V compound is 100 mg per 100 grams or milliliters. This limit is imposed to regulate the use of dihydrocodeine, as it is an opioid and has the potential for abuse. Schedule V substances are considered to have a lower potential for abuse compared to higher schedules, but they are still subject to control. In the context of this question, 100 mg per 100 gm/ml represents the legal threshold for including dihydrocodeine in a compounded prescription without escalating its classification or regulatory scrutiny. This knowledge is essential for pharmacists to ensure compliance with state and federal regulations regarding controlled substances. Each of the other options represents amounts that exceed or do not meet the legal threshold set for including dihydrocodeine in a Schedule V compound, which would be considered a violation of the regulations governing such medications. However, understanding the correct limit helps ensure that pharmacists can safely and legally dispense compounds that include this specific opioid.
