What is the cutoff for ethylmorphine to be classified as a Schedule III (C3) controlled substance?

Not more than 300 mg per 100 ml/grams or 15 mg per dosage unit combined with something else
Not more than 250 mg per 100 ml/grams or 20 mg per dosage unit combined with something else
Not more than 100 mg per 100 ml/grams or 10 mg per dosage unit combined with something else
Not more than 200 mg per 100 ml/grams or 25 mg per dosage unit combined with something else

The correct answer is: Not more than 300 mg per 100 ml/grams or 15 mg per dosage unit combined with something else

For ethylmorphine to be classified as a Schedule III (C3) controlled substance, the cutoff limit set by the DEA is not more than 300 mg per 100 ml/grams or 15 mg per dosage unit, when combined with other substances. This cutoff helps determine the potential for abuse and dependence associated with the substance, thereby placing it in a category that requires stricter controls compared to over-the-counter medications. Options B, C, and D have different cutoff limits for ethylmorphine and do not align with the specific criteria outlined by the DEA for Schedule III classification.
