Which change in the law regulates the retail sales of pseudoephedrine? A. The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) (2013)
B. The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act (2005)
C. The Drug Addiction Treatment Act (2000)
D. The Patient Safety and Quality Act of 2005 (2005)
The correct answer is B. The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act (2005).
This act was implemented to combat the illegal production of methamphetamine, which often involves pseudoephedrine, a common ingredient in over-the-counter medications. The law places limitations on the amount of pseudoephedrine that can be purchased and requires pharmacies to keep track of these sales, thereby regulating its retail availability more strictly.
