What is the maximum dosage units per dispensing under Ohio rules?

• A. 45 dosage units
• B. 60 dosage units
• C. 90 dosage units
• D. 120 dosage units

Answer: (C)

In Ohio, there is a safety measure that caps how many dosage units can be dispensed in a single prescription for certain controlled substances. The established limit is ninety dosage units per dispensing. This means a single fill cannot exceed 90 units unless there’s an approved exception or additional prescriptions arranged to meet the patient’s legitimate medical need. If more than 90 units are needed, a prescriber can issue multiple prescriptions or another compliant arrangement rather than exceeding the per-dispensing limit. The other options don’t fit because they do not reflect the set cap: some are below what the rule allows, and one is above it, whereas the standard practice is to stay within 90 dosage units per dispensing.
