Pharmacists Back New Pseudoephedrine Tracking System
Iowa pharmacies will phase in a real time tracking system this summer with a September requirement for products containing pseudoephedrine. Drivers licenses will replace paper logs to limit sales and enable cross border checks with states like Kentucky Arkansas and Missouri. Pharmacists say the system speeds checkouts helps prevent bulk purchases while challenging illicit buying. Kate Gainer of the Iowa Pharmacy Association supports the plan noting pharmacists will aid the state and many stores already track sales electronically or with pilot programs.
