This student sample outline argues that the FDA should regulate ephedrine. It begins by introducing the case of Carl Richardson who died from ephedrine use and notes that ephedrine is found in many over-the-counter products. The body then discusses the problems with ephedrine, including a lack of regulation, easy availability, and health risks. It proposes that the FDA create stronger regulations by banning over-the-counter ephedrine and requiring consistent packaging. The conclusion restates that ephedrine has harmful effects and that FDA regulation could prevent unnecessary deaths and illness from ephedrine use.
