Under pseudoephedrine regulations, federal laws do not apply to which aspect?

• A. Prescriptions
• B. Package size of two dosage forms or less
• C. Both prescriptions and package size of two dosage forms or less
• D. Retail sales

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that federal rules for pseudoephedrine are about restricting how, by whom, and how much can be sold, and about keeping records, not about prescribing it or about very small package sizes. Federal law does not require a prescription for pseudoephedrine, since it’s not treated as a prescription drug under these controls. It also does not impose federal limits specifically based on packaging sizes as small as two dosage forms or less. So those aspects fall outside federal regulation. The federal framework does regulate retail sales—behind-the-counter placement, ID requirements, daily and 30-day purchase limits, and recordkeeping—so those are the parts that federal law does apply to.
