CHARLESTON, West Virginia -
A new law that puts tighter restrictions on the sale of cold medicines is designed to keep those drugs from being made into meth.
It's called the N-Plex Program. It will alert pharmacists and police, in real-time, when someone who has already purchased the legal limit of the medicines is trying to buy more.
"It makes it easier for retailers to keep track of pseudoepherine sale electronically and it also gives law enforcement open access to identifying people who would divert pseudoephedrine into meth making activities," said Bridget Lambert with the West Virginia Retailers Association.
West Virginia join 23 other states using the N-Plex system starting Jan. 1, 2013.
The program is paid for by the manufacturers of pseudoephedrine.
