Does this mean I need a prescription from my doctor to buy pseudoephedrine?
No. The Act allows for the sale of pseudoephedrine only from locked cabinets or behind the counter. The law:
- limits the monthly amount any individual could purchase
- requires individuals to present photo identification to purchase such medications
- requires retailers to keep personal information about these customers for at least two years after the purchase of these medicines.
