For example, metronidazol (quoted in one of the asker's references) is an antibiotic, not an opiate!!

Metronidazole (Flagyl) Information from Drugs.com

Metronidazole (Flagyl) is an antibiotic used to fight bacteria in your body. Includes metronidazole side effects, interactions and indications.

For the record, I could find absolutely nothing with "BV" in English regarding your context.

The only thing that occurs to me is "IV" = intravenous

however, I would be unwilling to suggest this, and recommend you flag this to the client.

There are other medications that the anesthesiologist can use to help the RLS. Opiates and sedatives can be given intravenously and will take care of any RLS ...

agree  Lilia Simões: BV could mean "brachial vein" but I agree that flaging it to the client is what is best.

Reference: On drugs classification, I found this...

Reference information:
"ABC analysis (...) is a very useful approach to material
management based on Pareto’s principle of "Vital few
and trivial many" based on the capital investment of the
item. According to Pareto’s theory 10% items consume
about 70 % of budget (Group A). The next 20% consume
20 % of financial resources (Group B) and remaining
70 % items account for just 10% of budget (Group C). VED analysis is based on the criticality
of an item. “V” is for vital items without which a
hospital cannot function, “E” for essential items without
which an institution can function but may affect the
quality of the services and “D” stands for desirable
items, unavailability of which will not interfere with
functioning."
They mention categories I, II and III of drugs, but according to that, drugs BV would be in category I, not II, so... I don't know if there are other classifications (they say "category", not "class"...).
Trying to help. :)

On Classes, I found this:

"In the BCS (Biopharmaceutics Classification System), a drug is classified in one of four classes based solely on its solubility and intestinal permeability:
Class I
HIGH solubility / HIGH permeability,
Class II
LOW solubility / HIGH permeability,
Class III
HIGH solubility / LOW permeability
Class IV
LOW solubility / LOW permeability"

Source: http://www.iagim.org/pdf/ivivc-01.pdf

So, maybe they are using both classifications? Trying to help. :)

And I know the last reference is from a veterinary manual... but not familiar with the classification used, so... :)
