Why are antihistamines considered a controlled substance?

Question: I take Claratin D every morning during the mid-fall because of allergies. Last week it and most of the other antihistamines were off the shelf and you had to get them at the pharmacy and show ID and sign out with name address and phone. The lady at the counter said that Michigan now considers these drugs to be a controlled substance. Why?

Answers:
Claritin D (D=means "decongestant")

Regular claritin is available on the shelf, but decongestants contain Pseudoephedrine, which people use to make Methamphetamine...an illegal drug.

Don't worry...just sign it...it is to monitor people who buy BOXES AND BOXES of it every day.

I worked in a pharmacy, and there are people that would steal ALL the boxes that were on the shelf, so they could make drugs.
This new law prevents that.

It's the decongestant, pseudoephedrine, which is used in the illegal production of methamphetamine which is the controlled substance. (It's the D in you Claritin D.)
