What a hassle buying Sudafed
I went to Costco to get a couple boxes of generic Sudafed and the pharmacist said I could only buy one box. I told him I've always bought two boxes and never had a problem and I'm buying the lower dose not the twelve hour. He wouldn't explain just told me it's a regulation and asked if I wanted the one box or not. I talked to the manager and she also said the limit is one box and she said the quantity of pseudoephedrine in the box did not matter and it's because of a new law passed in January 2013. I can't find anything about any new law or regulation. What I bought is 24 30mg tablets, taken at the maximum dosage it's a 3 day supply, I don't take the max but a box only lasts about five days and that's kind of inconvenient to have to buy it every five days. I did find a lot of state laws limiting you to 3.6g per purchase which would be about 5 boxes. I know there's a law, I can't find it but I just can't believe I can only buy a three day supply, is this Costco correct?
