What is the maximum amount of pseudoephedrine that can be purchased in a single transaction?

The maximum amount of pseudoephedrine that can be purchased in a single transaction is 3.6 grams. This regulation is put in place to help control the sale of pseudoephedrine, which can be used in the illicit manufacture of methamphetamine. The 3.6-gram limit is part of federal law under the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act, which was enacted to address the rise in methamphetamine abuse. This limit applies to the amount of pseudoephedrine that a purchaser may obtain from a single retailer in a single day. Understanding this limit is crucial for pharmacists as they navigate the legal requirements for dispensing pseudoephedrine and ensuring compliance with regulations aimed at curbing drug abuse.
