Tightened restrictions on counter sales of products that contain pseudoephedrine or ephedrine have been confirmed by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.From 1 April,all packs of products that contain more than 720mg of pseudoephedrine or 180mg of ephedrine will be available only on prescription.The change is being made because of reports that over-the-counter medicines containing these ingredients are being used as source materials for the illicit manufacture of methylamphetamine.This is now believed to have happened on four occasions in the UK.
