Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act
Keep in mind that the federal Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 (signed March 9,2006) will go into effect September 30th. What does this mean to the consumer?
-- limits the amount of products containing pseudoephedrine (PSE) a consumer can purchase to 3.6 grams per day and 9 grams per month.
--some of the products include Sudafed,Tylenol Cold, Advil Cold, Benadryl Allergy and Cold and many generic brands.
--You must be at least 18 years old, provide a valid ID, and then sign a logbook with the date, time and amount purchased, DOB, along with your name and address. Big Brother wants to track you.
--shall be dispensed, sold, or distributed only by a licensed pharmacist or a licensed pharmacy technician
--dozens of your favorite allergy and cold remedies will sit in a locked display case or behind the pharmacy counter
--some states are pursuing even stricter restrictions on pseudoephedrine. Oregon mandates patients get prescriptions for meds containing PSE!?
--some pharmacies have already implemented the policy
--violates your privacy?
What does this mean to people in the pharmacy profession?
A HUGE pain in the a$$
Will this curb meth production/use? Not in my opinion.
