 Legal Requirements for the Sale and Purchase of Drug Products Containing 
Pseudoephedrine, Ephedrine, and Phenylpropanolamine

The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 has been incorporated into 
the Patriot Act signed by President Bush on March 9, 2006. The act bans 
over-the-counter sales of cold medicines that contain the ingredient 
pseudoephedrine, which is commonly used to make methamphetamine. The sale of 
cold medicine containing pseudoephedrine is limited to behind the counter. 
The amount of pseudoephedrine that an individual can purchase each month is 
limited and individuals are required to present photo identification to 
purchase products containing pseudoephedrine. In addition, stores are 
required to keep personal information about purchasers for at least two years.
