  SCARY STUFF PLEASE READ AND THINK

  Posted 5 Feb 11 2:21 pm.

  HI GUYS.....THOUGHT THIS WAS INTERESTING DATA......WITH COLD SEASON OUT THERE..........SCARY STUFF PLEASE READ AND THINK
  
  FYI...sent to me via Health Food Store owner.
  
  Subject: Phenylpropanolamine (PPA)
  
  Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) which can cause hemorrhagic stokes or cerebral bleeding even with the first use. I am forwarding a list of other medications that currently use PPA. These medicines are supposedly being recalled but my mother just purchased this medication less than two weeks ago. Pharmaceutical companies
  have known about this danger for years, we unfortunately, did not.
  
  I urge you to review the list of medicines with PPA and avoid these medications. All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are dangerous. You may want to try calling the 800 number listed on most drug boxes and inquire about a REFUND. Please read this CAREFULLY. Also, please pass this on to everyone you know. STOP TAKING anything containing this ingredient. It has been linked to increased hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in brain) among women ages 18-49 in the three days after starting use of medication. Problems were not found in men, but the FDA recommended that everyone (even children) seek alternative medicine.
  
  The following medications contain Phenylpropanolamine:
  
  Acutrim Diet Gum Appetite Suppressant
  Acutrim Plus Dietary Supplements
  Acutrim Maximum Strength Appetite Control
  Alka-Seltzer Plus Children's Cold Medicine Effervescent
  Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold medicine (cherry or or ange)
  Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Medicine Original
  Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold & Cough Medicine Effervescent
  Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold & Flu Medicine
  Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold & Sinus Effervescent
  Alka Seltzer Plus Night-Time Cold Medicine
  BC Allergy Sinus Cold Powder
  BC Sinus Cold Powder
  Comtrex Flu Therapy & Fever Relief

  Coricidin D Cold, Flu & Sinus
  Dexatrim Caffeine Free
  Dexatrim Extended Duration
  Dexatrim Gelcaps
  Dexatrim Vitamin C/Caffeine Free
  Dimetapp Cold & Allergy Chewable Tablets
  Dimetapp Cold & Cough Liqui-Gels
  Dimetapp DM Cold & Cough Elixir
  Dimetapp Elixir
  Dimetapp 4 Hour Liquid Gels
  Dimetapp 4 Hour Tablets
  Dimetapp 12 Hour Extentabs Tablets
  Naldecon DX Pediatric Drops
  Permathene Mega-16
  Robitussin CF
  Tavist-D 12 Hour Relief of Sinus & Nasal Congestion
  Triaminic DM Cough Rel! ief
  Triaminic Expectorant Chest & Head
  Triaminic Syrup ! ! Cold & amp;am p; Allergy
  Triaminic Triaminicol Cold & Cough
  
  I just found out and called the 800# on the container for Triaminic and
  they informed me that they are voluntarily recalling the following medicines
  because of a certain ingredient that is causing strokes and seizures in children:
  
  Orange 3D Cold & Allergy Cherry (Pink)
  3D Cold & Cough Berry
  3D Cough Relief Yellow 3D Expectorant
  
  They are asking you to call them at 800-548-3708 with the lot number on
  the box so they can send you postage for you to send it back to them, and
  they will also issue you a refund. If you know of anyone else with small children,
  
  PLEASE PASS THIS ON. THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF!
  
  DO PASS ALONG TO ALL ON YOUR MAILING LIST so people are informed. They can then pass it along to their families.
  
  To confirm these findings please take time to check the following:

  That is scary news, John! And thanks for sharing it with our community here.
  
  Good thing, I'm not really the 'drink medicine' kind of person when I (or my family) get sick.
  
  Cheers :)
