Missouri News: Ephedrine/Pseudoephedrine
Published in the February 2006 Missouri Board of Pharmacy Newsletter
As most readers already know, a law dealing with added controls on ephedrine and pseudoephedrine products went into effect in June 2005. Pure ephedrine and pseudoephedrine were classified under state law as a C-IV substance and products in combination with these drugs in tablet or capsule form were classified as C-V substances. Two issues of primary importance for pharmacies are the need to maintain a log book of all transactions involving C-V substances and the need to add to the annual controlled substance (CS) inventory all products now falling within the C-IV and C-V classifications. For more information concerning the new law you can check out the Department of Health Web site at www.dhss.mo.gov/BNDD/index.html. Click on the icon “What’s New!” for specific information.
