What is the maximum amount of pseudoephedrine an individual can purchase OTC per day according to federal regulations?

  1. 3.6 grams

  2. 7.5 grams

  3. 9 grams

  4. 60 milligrams

The correct answer is: 3.6 grams

According to federal regulations, the maximum amount of pseudoephedrine an individual can purchase over-the-counter (OTC) per day is 3.6 grams. Option B, 7.5 grams, is incorrect as this is the maximum amount that an individual can purchase per 30 days. Option C, 9 grams, and option D, 60 milligrams, are both incorrect as they are too high and too low, respectively, compared to the actual federal limit of 3.6 grams. It is important to follow this limit as excessive amounts of pseudoephedrine can be used to make illegal drugs such as methamphetamine.
