Which product is a Schedule V preparation containing acetaminophen and codeine?

• A. Promethazine + Codeine
• B. APAP + Codeine Elixir
• C. Ezogabine (Potiga)
• D. Lacosamide (Vimpat)

Answer: (B)

In this case, the key idea is that a product containing both acetaminophen and codeine is scheduled based on how much codeine is present in each dose, with limited-codeine combinations typically falling under Schedule V. APAP + Codeine Elixir clearly contains both acetaminophen (APAP) and codeine, and it is the formulation that is classified as Schedule V due to its low codeine content per dose. The other options don’t fit the requirement: promethazine with codeine contains codeine but not acetaminophen, and the two anticonvulsants listed (ezogabine and lacosamide) are not acetaminophen-codeine combinations.
