CHPA applauds dextromethorphan bill

The Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) announced its support of the introduction of the Dextromethorphan Distribution Act of 2006 (H.R. 5280). The bipartisan legislation, sponsored by Rep. Fred S. Upton (R, Mich.) and Rep. Rick Larsen (D, Wash.), seeks to prevent the unapproved sale and distribution of unfinished (powdered or bulk) dextromethorphan.
