Electronic PSE Tracking System to be Implemented in Washington State

Topics: Pseudoephedrine

The process of implementing a new electronic system to track the sales of pseudoephedrine (PSE), ephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine will begin in Washington State this month. New legislation (PDF) requiring the electronic PSE tracking system was adopted in March 2010. Once implemented, the new system will replace the paper logs that are currently used to track PSE sales. The Washington State Board of Pharmacy and other stakeholders will begin the rulemaking process with a workshop on August 26, 2010.
