Just as a reminder, you are completely allowed to buy pseudoephedrine without a prescription, you just have to ask your pharmacist. My local pharmacy keeps it behind the counter already pre-compounded, and it's cheap and effective. One of those little things that I never used to purchase because I was somehow not certain if I could actually get it. Yes, you can.
What country are you in? In the US, pseudoephedrine has to be requested at the pharmacy counter, but it's not a compounded medication. Instead it's sold as pills in the usual "blister pack" format.
I live in the US. You're right, it's not compounded by my pharmacy, I was confused because of the branding on the package — it's manufactured somewhere else and just repackaged by my pharmacy:
It's not repackaged by your pharmacy, Good Neighbor Pharmacy is a generic drug brand for pharmacies and supermarkets that don't have their own generic brand.
Ohm Laboratories appears to be a subsidiary of Sun Pharma which is one of the largest generic drug manufacturers in the world. This looks like a pretty standard generic drug with store branding package to me.
My local pharmacies keep it behind the counter, but the counter has shorter hours than the rest of the store. And you've got to submit your license to be entered into their system (and who knows what happens with that data).
In Belgium it's no longer available without prescription since this month. Reasoning is that it can trigger cardiac issues, neurological issues, and even psychiatric issues in some people.
