Pseudoephedrine Being Banned from Over the Counter Sales

Pseudoephedrine is being banned as an over-counter-drug in New Zealand today, following concerns about the drug being used in illegal drug rings responsible for producing meth.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key announced the move of pseudophedrine as a prescription drug today, and many other nations have already moved in such a direction with laws regarding the drug.

Scientific advisers have suggested the phenylephrine be used in place of pseuodoephedrine for over-the-counter cold and flu tabs.
