What are the laws regarding the over-the-counter (OTC) sale of PSE in Guam?

The regulations governing the over-the-counter sale of pseudoephedrine (PSE) in Guam align with federal guidelines aimed at preventing its misuse in the production of methamphetamine. Under these regulations, individuals are permitted to purchase a limited quantity of PSE during a single transaction. Specifically, the law stipulates that consumers can buy no more than two packages at a time, ensuring that access to this substance is controlled while still allowing for legitimate use as a nasal decongestant.

This limitation is in place to balance the need for consumer access to safe medications while also addressing the potential for abuse. It reflects a broader effort to curb illicit drug manufacture by restricting the sale of precursor chemicals such as pseudoephedrine. The choice indicating that only one package can be purchased or that OTC sales are completely prohibited does not accurately represent the legal framework, as neither extreme of regulation applies in this situation.
