Original formula contains Pseudophedrine, the key ingrident of meth. That is why they put it behind the counter. Many stores limit your purchases per week. Go over, and they report you to the police. They actually record your name and drivers license.
There is a new formula of Sudafed that is sold over the counter that does not contain Pseudophedrine.
