Restrictions on the sale of meth precursors (products containing pseudoephedrine and ephedrine) have been an important issue since the passage of the Oklahoma law last session. In an effort to reduce the meth problem, the state was the first to classify precursor products as Schedule V. Now, in Oklahoma, only licensed pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are allowed to sell the drug. All products must be kept behind the pharmacy counter and stores without pharmacies can no longer sell products containing pseudoephedrine. Customers must show photo ID and sign a log to buy affected products. Furthermore, sales are restricted to no more than nine grams in a 30-day period. Several other states are considering Oklahoma-style legislation this year. Texas is one of these states.
Pseudoephedrine (PSE) is a decongestant (reduces swelling in sinuses). Over-the-counter drug products either contain pseudoephedrine as the sole active ingredient or in combination with other ingredients. Single active ingredient pseudoephedrine products are most favored by meth cooks because they give them the highest yield and purity.
Product examples of single active ingredient pseudoephedrine:
� Sudafed and its generic equivalents.
� Contac 12-Hour Caplets

I think ephedrine is the active ingredient in sudafed and actifed. It can be gotten over the counter. One of those meds you don't want with a heart condition.john
