Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pseudoephedrine is the active ingredient in cold medications that is most commonly used in the illegal production of methamphetamine. The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act now requires that pseudoephedrine be kept behind the pharmacy counter and that purchasers provide identification and sign a logbook in order to purchase it. This has significantly reduced the ability of individuals to purchase large quantities of pseudoephedrine and therefore reduced the production of methamphetamine.
