DEA: Schedule Drugs

[neinta]

On the DEA site I was looking up Schedule Drugs for one of my classes. On the site it says "Substance: Hydrocodone combination product 15 mg/du, DEA number: 9806" It has 6 drugs listed under "other names" for that same heading.

What does the mg/du mean? milligrams per what?

Do all 6 drugs listed under that heading have the same dosage of the substance? What is the relationship between them?

Milligrams per dosage unit. (Means per pill usually).

I'm sorry, I forgot about your other questions. Hydrocodone is the controlled substance and so what matters is how much of that is in each dosage unit (each pill usually). The only relationship between the six drugs is that they each have hydrocodone in them. They can have aspirin, tylenol, or another over the counter analgesic in them as well. Hope this helps.
