Drugs pseudoephedrine timetable would be reclassified two drugs, which means that products can be further improved without a prescription were sold, but are subject to stricter controls. “The maximum size of packaging and to limit the number of purchases per person and be limited to one package per customer.” Pseudoephedrine as a single product would schedule six drugs.
