Ppa

            Phenylpropanolamine, or PPA, has been on the market for half a century. Each year, billions of doses are consumed across the United States. PPA is included in several hundred non-prescription cough, cold, and allergy remedies and appetite suppressants. More than twenty years ago, case reports began to appear that linked PPA products to hemorrhagic stroke. Now, twenty years later, the FDA has issued a public health warning to encourage consumers to not use medications that contain PPA. The FDA has also requested that manufacturers discontinue the marketing of any prescription or over the counter product containing PPA. Although the FDA is considering banning PPA, it is still legally sold to consumers.
