10/21: Surge in meth labs may change pharmacy offerings
Wall Street Journal: Surge in meth labs may change pharmacy offerings
State and federal lawmakers are considering copying an Oregon law requiring a prescription for many cold medications, a move opposed by major drug manufacturers.
Oregon's 2005 law requires a doctor's prescription for medicines with pseudoephedrine, a major component in the manufacturing of methamphetamine. Federal laws in place now limit the amount of cold medicines that can be purchased at one time; the Oregon law goes further.
This issue will be interesting to watch, especially as we enter the cold and flu season.
