A new law will go into effect next month in Maine that will restrict the sale of some over the counter cold medicines.

Drugs that include pseudo-ephedrine will be kept behind the counter and sold in limited quantities.

MPBN News Reporter Sara Nics reports from Bangor that the new law is a pre-emptive strike against methamphetamine abuse.
