Which statement about Ethylmorphine and its Schedule III classification is true?

• A. 15 mg per dosage unit with non-narcotic ingredients
• B. 300 mg Ethylmorphine / 100 mL or 15 mg/dosage unit with non-narcotic ingredients
• C. 50 mg Morphine / 100 mL
• D. 1.8 mg Codeine / 100 mL

Answer: (B)

Ethylmorphine is treated as a Schedule III substance when it appears in combination products with non-narcotic ingredients, provided the amounts stay within specific limits. The allowed thresholds are up to 300 mg of Ethylmorphine per 100 mL of a liquid product, or up to 15 mg per dosage unit in solid or semi-solid forms. These limits define the Schedule III classification for combination products: staying at or below these amounts keeps the product in Schedule III, while exceeding them would alter its scheduling. The other options either mention only one limit or refer to different substances, which is why they don’t fit as the correct standard for Ethylmorphine in combination products.
