From Arkansas News Bureau:

All Arkansas pharmacies selling products containing pseudoephedrine are now logging the sales of such products online, allowing law enforcement officials to easily monitor the sales, Attorney General Dustin McDaniel announced Wednesday.

Pseudoephedrine, used to treat cold symptoms, is also a key ingredient in methamphetamine, an illegal drug that has become widespread in use across Arkansas.

Law enforcement officials will now be able to tell who is buying the drug, in what quantities and where.

“I have full confidence that both pharmacies and law enforcement throughout the state will use this system to better protect our state’s people and its future, and that this will take us one step closer to turning the tide on the meth epidemic in Arkansas,” McDaniel said.

The attorney general announced the program at the Searcy Police Department.
