Should certain over-the-counter drugs (such as Pseudoephedrine) only be available with a prescription?

Currently Kentucky residents can purchase Pseudoephedrine over-the-counter without a doctor’s prescription.  This may change though.  The Louisville Metro Council will be voting on a resolution this Thursday night that would ask the Kentucky General Assembly to require a prescription to purchase Pseudoephedrine.  Please vote now!  Council votes Thursday night.

“I oppose this resolution,” says Councilman Doug Hawkins. “It does not make sense to inconvenience law abiding citizens by forcing them to go see a doctor just to receive an over the counter prescription for cold medicine. Most people right now do not have the extra money to spend on a co-pay for a doctor’s visit plus a co-pay for a prescription.”
