What is Phenylpropanolamine used for?

Phenylpropanolamine
(PPA) is a chemical that is in many over the counter and prescription
cold and cough medications, nasal decongestants, and over the counter
appetite suppressant and weight loss products.

Why was Phenylpropanolamine Recalled (or why should it) ?

Phenylpropanolamine sales were banned November 6, 2000 because of
concerns over the increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke found to occur
especially in younger women.

PPA does continue
to be available over the counter because the FDA cannot control over
the counter drugs. Phenylpropanolamine continues to endanger people who
use products containing PPA. Each year billions of doses of over the
counter medicine containing PPA are used.

What Makes Phenylpropanolamine a dangerous Drug ( side effects):

  • Hemorrhagic strokes

    I believe that they (FDA) took PPA off the market because it works! Without a product available over the counter, more people get sinus infections or pneumonia, resulting in the drug companys making more money by prescribing antibotics.
