The agency now must decide whether products containing the ingredient, like some Sudafed and NyQuil products, should no longer be sold or perhaps give companies lead time to substitute other ingredients.
BTW if you are young enough to never have used “real” Sudafed, it actually works and you can easily tell that it is working. You can still get it if you ask the pharmacist.
Sudafed or death. It was unregulated when I was a kid, which was when I was constantly sick. I think my body must be like 30% sudafed at this point. I understand the regulations, but I do feel bad for sick kids these days. A box is not always enough to deal with a bad infection!
Yes. You have to be 18. They check your ID and make sure you’re not buying too many boxes of it to stock your meth lab, but otherwise it’s not restricted.
That and hand over your ID to make sure you’re not buying too much. Don’t want people making meth. We sure solved the illicit drug problem in this country with that one.

So I just ask the pharmacist “Can i have a box of Sudafed?”
Yes. You have to be 18. They check your ID and make sure you’re not buying too many boxes of it to stock your meth lab, but otherwise it’s not restricted.
