GOV. BARBOUR SIGNS BILL RESTRICTING SOME COLD MEDICINE
Come July, Mississippians will need a doctor's
prescription to buy cold medicines like Mucinex, Claritin D and Sudafed.
Gov. Haley Barbour has signed House Bill 512,
making any medicine that contains pseudoephedrine
- a key ingredient in methamphetamine - a controlled substance as of
July 1.
Supporters say the measure, which passed the
House and Senate in recent weeks, will deter meth production.
