What criteria must exempted codeine preparations meet regarding additional medicinal ingredients?

  1. At least two additional ingredients in minimum doses

  2. No additional ingredients are required

  3. Only vitamins as additional ingredients

  4. Four additional narcotic ingredients in any quantity

The correct answer is: At least two additional ingredients in minimum doses

Option B is incorrect because additional medicinal ingredients are required for some codeine preparations in order to prevent misuse or overdosing. Option C is incorrect because while vitamins may be included as additional ingredients, there may be other necessary medicinal ingredients that are not vitamins. Option D is incorrect because a codeine preparation may not need four additional narcotic ingredients to ensure its efficacy and safety, especially for those who are sensitive to narcotic ingredients.
