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.
