What are the requirements for diphenoxin/atropine to fit into Schedule III?

  1. Not more than 1mg of diphenoxin with not less than 25 mcg of atropine per dosage unit

  2. Not more than 25 mcg of diphenoxin with not less than 1mg of atropine per dosage unit

  3. Not more than 2.5mg of diphenoxin with not less than 100 mcg of atropine per dosage unit

  4. Not more than 2.5mg of diphenoxin with not less than 25 mcg of atropine per dosage unit

The correct answer is: Not more than 1mg of diphenoxin with not less than 25 mcg of atropine per dosage unit

In Wisconsin, diphenoxin/atropine combination products are classified as Schedule III controlled substances when they contain not more than 1mg of diphenoxin with not less than 25 mcg of atropine per dosage unit. This specific combination and dosage requirement is what distinguishes diphenoxin/atropine as a Schedule III controlled substance. Options B, C, and D do not meet the correct requirements for diphenoxin/atropine to fit into Schedule III based on the established quantities of diphenoxin and atropine per dosage unit.
