What is the maximum amount of pseudoephedrine that can be shipped to an individual?

  1. 7.5 g

  2. 9.0 g

  3. 6.0 g

  4. 3.6 g

The correct answer is: 7.5 g

The maximum amount of pseudoephedrine that can be shipped to an individual is 7.5 grams. This limit is in accordance with federal law, specifically the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005, which regulates the sale and distribution of pseudoephedrine due to its potential use in the illicit production of methamphetamine. The law establishes a daily limit of 3.6 grams that can be purchased by an individual and a 30-day limit of 9.0 grams, but when it comes to shipping or mailing pseudoephedrine to an individual, the limit is set at 7.5 grams to prevent abuse. Understanding these regulations is critical for pharmacies and suppliers to ensure compliance with the law and to help control the distribution of substances that can be misused.
