Mangino M.D. As part of our nation’s “War On Drugs,” the law enforcement agencies, around this country, have decided to ‘shelve’ Sudafed – as it is an essential ingredient in the manufacture of methamphetamine.

This has resulted in an increased production and importation of ‘meth’ from abroad [ Mexico, for one ].

No one knows if this strategy will work, but some ‘experts’ who follow these issues feel that it will not. At least, we should hope for fewer injuries from meth lab explosions.

And an increase in rhinnorhea.

I just filled a scrip for a narcotic, and decided to pick up some sudafed. Guess which one got me the evil eye, as I handed over my id for the clerk to enter into a handwritten log. Tell me about it.
