JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Mississippi is one of only two states still requiring a prescription for medicines containing pseudoephedrine.
But the legislature is weighing the option of allowing you to buy medicine like Claritin-D or others containing pseudoephedrine and ephedrine without a prescription.
“Pharmacies would have to use some software that tracks the amount you’ve purchased,” described Senator Joey Fillingange who filed Senate Bill 2119. “You can’t just jump from pharmacy A and B and C and D and just stockpile. There’s a limit of 3.6 grams a day that you can purchase in Mississippi or 7.2 for the whole month. So, you can’t pharmacy hop and stockpile it for yourself.”
