To be precise, I often use the generic version of it since it's the same stuff. But double check at the pharmacy counter - since the D part (pseudoephedrine) is a prime ingredient in methamphetamine, a federal law enacted last fall requires that all products containing it be located at the pharmacy counter rather than in the shelves. Same goes for Sudafed, which has the same main ingredient.
Oh, and each person can only buy 10 days worth of 24 hour doses of pseudoephedrine per day. And you'll need to show your driver's license. ... Don't blame the pharmacists, many of them are just as pissed as I am - they're supposed to be doctors, not police.
