Regulación sobre la venta de productos con pseudoefedrina y efedrina a menores

Explicación Simple

En Ohio, no se puede vender ciertos medicamentos a personas menores de 18 años. Esto es para evitar que los jóvenes usen estos productos de manera peligrosa o inadecuada.

Imagina que Juan tiene 16 años y quiere comprar un medicamento para el resfriado que contiene pseudoefedrina. Cuando va a la farmacia, el farmacéutico le dice que no puede venderle el medicamento porque es menor de edad, a menos que su madre esté presente para ayudarle.
