What are exempted codeine preparations allowed to contain?

  1. Not more than 8 mg of codeine per tablet with two additional medicinal ingredients

  2. Only codeine as the active ingredient

  3. Up to 30 mg of codeine without additional medicinal ingredients

  4. Codeine and one medicinal ingredient in any quantity

The correct answer is: Not more than 8 mg of codeine per tablet with two additional medicinal ingredients

Exempted codeine preparations are allowed to contain not more than 8 mg of codeine per tablet with two additional medicinal ingredients. Option B is incorrect because it states that only codeine is allowed as the active ingredient, while in reality, two additional medicinal ingredients are allowed. Option C is incorrect because it exceeds the maximum allowed amount of codeine, which is 8 mg per tablet. Option D is incorrect because it states that only one medicinal ingredient is allowed, while in reality, two additional medicinal ingredients are also permitted.
