It happened some time within the last two months. We went to the store around December 1 to the 4th, and we had to give ID and sign a piece of paper. I vaguely recall reading about Mark Warner signing a law about it, but I can't remember when that was. I only know that we first went to Wal-Mart to buy Sudafed. There were no packages on the shelf. There were cards that said, "Take this to the pharmacy," but the pharmacy was already closed. So we went to a 24-hour pharmacy. We tried to buy one box of plain old Sudafed for me. Before our girls were old enough to take the stuff, that would last me for three or four years. Since they seem to get a cold a month (gym class is great), they take it a lot more than I ever have. Hubby wanted the 12-hour, multi-symptom reliever version. We ended up buying the box for him, and I just did without. I was going on a plane the next day, and I really should have bought the stuff for me. Big mistake! I'm not sure if they would let hubby buy a box and me another box. I'll ask the next time we're there.
Oh good grief....I know I've bought sudafed since the beginning of December, maybe I bought it in Maryland, I'm only 8 miles from the line and go there to WalMart and Riteaid.
I'm going to Food Lion and Dollar General, neither of which have a pharmacy, in the morning, I'm going to make a point of checking this out.
Thanks for the information.
Go separately.
