The correct limitations are that dispensing cannot exceed more than 8 oz of a substance containing opium, nor more than 8 oz of another controlled substance, nor more than 48 dosage units of any substance containing opium, nor more than 24 dosage units containing any other controlled substance within a 48-hour period. This rule is crucial for maintaining the controlled distribution of potentially addictive substances and ensuring that patients receive medications in a safe, regulated manner.
