What is the maximum amount of pseudoephedrine that can be sold to a customer in a 30-day period?

The correct maximum amount of pseudoephedrine that can be sold to a customer in a 30-day period is 9 grams. This amount aligns with federal regulations regarding the sale of pseudoephedrine, which is classified as a precursor to the illegal production of methamphetamine.

The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 regulates the sale of pseudoephedrine and other similar substances to prevent misuse. Under these regulations, individual customers are limited to purchasing no more than 9 grams of pseudoephedrine in a 30-day period to help control and monitor the distribution of this medication.

In practice, this means that pharmacy personnel must keep accurate records of sales and ensure that no single customer exceeds this regulation, emphasizing the importance of adherence to these legal limits in order to promote safe and responsible distribution of medications.
