You have to sign: The D means it contains pseudoephedrine which is a stimulant drug that can be abused. In some states you have to sign for it and show a driver's license. It is also available by prescription. Do not take if if you have high blood pressure or heart disease for sure. Read the package for other precautions as well. I am not sure if you have to sign for it in every state. Your pharmacist knows.
