What is the maximum amount of pseudophedrine that can be purchased in one transaction?

6g
3.6g
7.5g
10g

The correct answer is: 3.6g

The correct choice indicates that the maximum amount of pseudophedrine that can be purchased in one transaction is 3.6 grams. This limit is in place to combat the illicit synthesis of methamphetamine, which can be produced using pseudophedrine. Under federal law, specifically the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005, a person is restricted to purchasing no more than 3.6 grams of pseudophedrine in a single transaction. This regulation helps ensure that while consumers can access needed medications containing pseudophedrine, there are safeguards to prevent abuse and illegal manufacturing. It's important for both consumers and pharmacists to be aware of these limits to maintain compliance with the law. The other amounts listed exceed this single transaction limit and are therefore not permissible under current regulations.
