| Description | Subject: Drug/Health Warning - Phenylpropanolamine Drug Warning
All drugs containing Phenylpropanolamine are being recalled.
You may want to try calling the 800 number listed on most drug boxes
and inquire about a REFUND. Please read this CAREFULLY, as I know that
some of you may USE some of these drugs (Alka Seltzer Plus for one).
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
