Recalled drug

All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are being recalled.STOP TAKING anything containing this ingredient. It has beenlinked to increased hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in brain )among women ages 18-49 in the three days after starting useof medication. Problems were not found in men, but the FDArecommended that everyone ( even children ) seek alternativemedicine.
The following medications contain Phenylpropanolamine:
Acutrim Di et Gum Appetite SuppressantAcutrim Plus Dietary SupplementsAcutrim Maximum Strength Appetite ControlAlka-Seltzer Plus Children's Cold Medi cine EffervescentAlka-Seltzer Plus Cold medicine (cherry or or ange)Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Medic ine OriginalAlka-Seltzer Plus Cold &Cough Medicine EffervescentAlka-Seltzer Plus Cold &Flu MedicineAlka-Seltzer Plus Cold &Sinus EffervescentAlka Seltzer Plus Night-Time Cold MedicineBC Allergy Sinus Cold PowderBC Sinus Cold PowderComtrex Flu Therapy &Fever ReliefDay &Night Contac 12-Hour Cold CapsulesContac 12 Hour CapletsCoricidin D Cold, Flu &SinusDexatrim Caffeine FreeDexatrim Extended DurationDexatrim GelcapsDexatrim Vitamin C/Caffeine FreeDimetapp Cold &Allergy Chewable TabletsDimetapp Cold &Cough Liqui-GelsDimetapp DM Cold &Cough ElixirDimetapp ElixirDimetapp ! 4 Hour L iquid GelsDimetapp 4 Hour TabletsDim etapp 12 Hour Extentabs TabletsNaldecon DX Pediatric DropsPermathene Mega-16Robitussin CFTavist-D 12 Hour Relief of Sinus &Nasal CongestionTriaminic DM Cough Rel! iefTriaminic Expectorant Chest &HeadTriaminic Syrup Cold & AllergyTriaminic Triaminicol Cold &Cough
I just found out and called the 800# on the containerfor 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 :
Orange 3D Cold &a mp;Allergy Cherry (Pink)3D Cold &Cough Berry3D Cough Relief Yellow 3D Expectorant
They are asking you to call them at 800-548-3708 withthe 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!
DO PASS ALONG TO ALL ON YOUR MAILING LIST so people are informed. They can then pass it alo ng to their families.
To confirm these findings please take time to check thefollowing:http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopage/ppa/
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR CHILDREN IN CASE THEY GIVE IT TO THEIR CHILDREN OR TO FRIENDS WHO HAVE CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
