Czech customs officers in Moravia have seized about 110 kilogrammes of a medicine containing pseudoephedrine, said police spokeswoman Pavla Zdobnicka on Wednesday.

Pseudoephedrine is a substance that is often illegally used as precursor in the production of the hard drug pervitin (methamphetamine).

It may be used as a nasal or sinus decongestant, as a stimulant, or as a wakefulness-promoting agent in higher doses.

In a consignment from Bulgaria, the customs officers found 26,000 packagings with a total of 364,000 pills containing about 44 kilogrammes of pseudoephedrine.

It could be used to produce 29 kilogrammes of pervitin worth over 20 million crowns (877,000 dollars).

Customs officers, near the Vrbice village close to the Slovak border, chose a van with the Bulgarian number plate for a random check.

The driver, upon request, produced documents showing that the consignment was heading from Bulgaria to the Czech Republic and Poland.

According to Zdobnicka, the customs officers had a suspicion that the medicines may be misused for drug production.

Experts from the National Institute for Drug Control have already confirmed that the given medicine is not officially registered for sale in Czech.

They said that the amount of pseudoephedrine in the pills exceeded many times the amount that is permitted in Czech.
