News from the Health Center

Pseudoephedrine-containing products face sale restrictions:

Due to a new federal law to reduce methamphetamine production there will be restrictions in over the counter sales of pseudoephedrine-containing products such as Sudafed and many other products used for nasal congestion from the common cold or nasal allergies.  Pseudoephedrine-containing products are sometimes diverted to make methamphetamine.  Due to the new law, customers wishing to purchase these products will be asked to provide a state-issued photo ID, sign a log and face limits of how much product is purchased. 

Here at the Student Health Center we will no longer be carrying over the counter products containing pseudoephedrine.  We are planning to offer an alternative similar medication, phenylephrine, which is similar to pseudoephedrine but is not used to make methamphetamine.  There may be additional treatment options to improve your symptoms.  Thank you for your understanding with this change.  For additional information please refer to the web page listed below.
