On 6 November 2000, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a
public health advisory warning that phenylpropanolamine (PPA), an ingredient
found in many over-the-counter cold medications and diet aids, may cause
strokes and thus should be avoided. Although the FDA did not issue a
mandatory recall of PPA-containing products, they asked drug manufacturers
to voluntarily stop selling products containing PPA and provide safer
alternatives. As a result, most products that formerly included PPA have now
been discontinued or reformulated without PPA while the FDA proceeds with
the regulatory process necessary to remove all PPA-containing products from
the market.

On 6 November 2000, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a
public health advisory warning that phenylpropanolamine (PPA), an ingredient
found in many over-the-counter cold medications and diet aids, may cause
strokes and thus should be avoided. Although the FDA did not issue a
mandatory recall of PPA-containing products, they asked drug manufacturers
to voluntarily stop selling products containing PPA and provide safer
alternatives. As a result, most products that formerly included PPA have now
been discontinued or reformulated without PPA while the FDA proceeds with
the regulatory process necessary to remove all PPA-containing products from
the market.
