The sale of over-the-counter products that contain pseudoephedrine and ephedrine is restricted by which act?

Answer

The sale of over-the-counter products that contain pseudoephedrine and ephedrine is restricted by the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act. This legislation was enacted to regulate the sale of ingredients commonly used in the production of methamphetamine, a powerful illegal stimulant. Pseudoephedrine and ephedrine are closely monitored due to their potential for misuse in making meth, leading to regulations that limit their purchase. Customers are required to show identification and the amount they can buy is limited to prevent abuse.
