Pharmacy Term

Pseudoephedrine logbook

Definition

The federal record and daily limit a pharmacy keeps on cold medicine sold from behind the counter.

Why It Matters

This is the front end's one closing-day item and it is easy to miss, because the guide's controlled-substance term sends everybody to look at the prescription side. The seller's self-certification is tied to a place of business and is not inherited with the keys, so a store that changes entity without filing holds a category it cannot legally sell from the first morning. Behind that sit two years of retained records the buyer takes over and can be asked to produce, plus daily and monthly purchase caps an undertrained counter breaks at volume. Read the last two years of logbook practice as a proxy for how the front end is actually run.
