Delaware Law Requires ID to Buy Certain Cough Medicines

A new Delaware law restricts the sale of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines containing dextromethorphan (DXM) to those aged 18 and older.

Intended to reduce abuse of the cough suppressant among teens, the law requires an ID to be presented at the point of purchase.

Delaware is the 12th state to impose a DXM restriction, reports Drug Store News.
