Re: [Rant] Pseudoephedrine quote:
The United States Congress has recognized the use of pseudoephedrine in the illicit manufacture of methamphetamine. In late 2005, the Committee on Education and the Workforce heard testimony concerning education programs and state legislation designed to curb the use and manufacture of methamphetamine with pseudoephedrine-containing products. State laws in Oregon and Kansas were particularly influential in the proposed legislation.[citation needed] The House passed the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 ("CMEA") as an amendment to the renewal of the Patriot Act. Signed into law by president George W. Bush on March 6, 2006, the act amended the US Code (21 USC 830) concerning the sale of pseudoephedrine-containing products. The Federal statute included the following requirements for merchants ("regulated seller") who sell these products (pseudoephedrine is defined as a "scheduled listed chemical product under 21 USC 802(45(A)):
* A retrievable record of all purchases identifying the name and address of each party to be kept for two years.
* Required verification of proof of identity of all purchasers
* Required protection and disclosure methods in the collection of personal information
* Reports to the Attorney General of any suspicious payments or disappearances of the regulated products
* Required training of employees with regard to the requirements of the CMEA; Retailer must self-certify as to training and compliance
* Non-liquid dose form of regulated product may only be sold in unit dose blister packs
* Regulated products are to be stored behind the counter or in a locked cabinet in such a way as to restrict public access
* Daily sales of regulated products not to exceed 3.6 grams without regard to the number of transactions
* 30 day (not monthly) sales limit not to exceed 7.5 grams if sold by mail-order or "mobile retail vendor"
* 30 day PURCHASE limit not to exceed 9 grams of pseudoephedrine base in regulated products (misdemeanor possession offense under 21 USC 844a for the individual who buys it)

Seems like you should be blaming our wonderful Congress.

But all these stores would sell is 48 of the 30 mg in a 30 day period or 1.44 grams, far under fed law, so it is just store policy.
said by craig70130:Your doctor can prescribe pseudoephedrine for you and those restrictions will be bypassed. Thanks for the heads up as I was concerned due to what the last pharmacist said, that they were just going to stop manufacture and make it an illegal substance. |

I mean, is Nyquil-guzzling the latest Officially Recognized Problem? If so, the people doing it must be pretty hard up for a fix of some kind. I haven't taken Nyquil in years, but I recall it wasn't the most pleasant-tasting substance. |

Nyquil has one of the most powerful hypnotics known to man in it, and it also used to have Pseudoephedrine. They changed the formula now though and you have to buy Nyquil D to get what used to be the original Nyquil. The new stuff doesn't work nearly as well.

I agree with what they say about phenylephrine being nothing more than a placebo. When I had the flu, I kept wondering why Nyquil wasn't doing a damn thing for my runny nose like it used to. When I researched why my Claritin D (taken in desperation one night during said flu episode so I could get some sleep) worked and Nyquil didn't, I found out about the reformulation. |

Why would you take a decongestant for a runny nose? You should take an anti-histamine. Also, Claritin D would not allow you to sleep because the psuedoephedrine would keep you awake (it is a stimulant). You should have taken Benadryl if you wanted to fall asleep and dry up your runny nose. |

I was so tired I didn't care about the stimulant, but I kept "almost" falling asleep and waking up gasping because I couldn't breath through my nose.
I'm not sure why, but the Claritin D worked and dried my nose up so I could sleep.
I'll remember the Benadryl tip the next time I need something to clear up a runny nose because I hate the way Claritin D makes me feel. |

Doesn't Nyquil have a lot of alcohol as well? drunks and kids under the legal age can buy Nyquil and Listerine and drink it fast to get a buzz (drunk).

Allegra-D = antihistamime + Sudafed (pseudoephedrine)
claritin-D is the same as well. Any of the allergy medications that have the -D uses Sudafed.
