What was put in Tylenol Cold?

Question:

I heard that something in Tylenol cold was being used by drugees. They have taken it off some shelfs. Does anyone know more about this?

Answers:
The reason many cold remedies have been pulled off the shelf and put behind the pharmacy counter is because of an ingredient called pseudoephedrine.

Pseudoephedrine is used in the production of methamphetamine.

The federal government has cracked down and controls the sale of all products containing pseudoephedrine... limiting the amount any single person can purchase in a one month time span.

Please read the "Misuse and illicit use" section on Wikipedia.

The ingredient you are talking about is pseudoephedrine. It is used by some to get high. Cold meds are now under lock and key.
