What is the dispensing limit for codeine if a patient presents an ID?

The dispensing limit for codeine, particularly in the context of over-the-counter sales of a preparation that contains no more than 200 mg of codeine per 100 mL or per 100 grams, is set to a maximum of 4 ounces for purchases involving an ID. This regulation is in place to control the sale of codeine to avoid abuse while ensuring that patients have access to necessary medicinal products.

Under the federal and state laws, preparations containing codeine as a controlled substance can be dispensed while requiring a valid ID. The limitation helps mitigate the risks of misuse that can arise with substances containing opiates. This framework assists in maintaining a balance between patient accessibility and public safety, emphasizing proper utilization of pharmaceutical products and discouraging excessive purchasing that might indicate misuse.

The incorrect options reflect variations in amounts that exceed this established limit for controlled codeine products, which are not permitted under the regulations.
