STOP Taking any medicine with PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE

[kcireland]

This just came in from my Mom in Canada.

They are warning everyone to check their medicine cabinets to see if this PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE is listed in any of their medicines!

Here is a list … mostly North American Brands. Please let us know if you find it in any Irish Brands too!

All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are being recalled.

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.
