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 The FDA recommended that everyone ( even children ) seek alternative medicine.

The following medications contain Phenylpropanolamine :

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

Orange3D 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!

If you can't pronounce this word PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE than perhaps you should investigate before ingesting.
Sorry for the big words..I could not think of any smaller ones. :)

So some rival big drug company paid off the current bunch of FDA hacks to recind thier previously "bought and paid for" okey-dohkey.... American big business running the American government again... I suspect they will re-issue the all clear in a few weeks, months, etc once they get bought off the other way...

The credability of the FDA is 0 (IMHO).. It was 0 when they said it was safe, It is 0 when they say it isn't... I'll wait for the rest of the public health agencies in the world to weigh in before I start throwing anything out.
