What is the maximum amount of Robitussin A/C that can be dispensed to a purchaser within a 48-hour period?

Robitussin A/C contains codeine and is classified as a Schedule V controlled substance under federal and Massachusetts law. Regulations concerning the sale of Schedule V substances are in place to prevent misuse while allowing for legitimate medical use.

Specifically, federal law limits the amount of certain medications containing codeine that can be dispensed to an individual in a 48-hour period. In this case, the law stipulates that a maximum of 120 cc (or 120 milliliters) of Robitussin A/C can be dispensed within that timeframe to any one person. This limitation is intended to balance patient needs while minimizing the risk of abuse due to the presence of a narcotic ingredient.

The other options exceed this legal threshold, hence why they are not applicable for a correct response regarding the maximum dispensation. Understanding the specifics of controlled substance regulations is critical for pharmacy practice, particularly when managing commonly prescribed medications like Robitussin A/C.
