To anyone in Australia, apparently you can still get pseudoephedrine over the counter. You just need to explicitly ask for it (brand name is Codral Original) and provide ID so that the chemist can register the sale.

Expect a visit from the AFP if you start hoarding boxes. :)

pseudoephedrine is still available over the counter in Canada, too.

Despite pressure from the USA, that fact hasn't changed. I literally just bought cold meds with it as an ingredient just yesterday. Not just limited to "store brand" or "generic" versions, either. Name brand Tylenol or Advil "cold".

It's available over the counter in the USA, too. You do have to show ID.
