Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) Hot Issue: Hoax or Fact?
April 25, 2009 – 10:05 am
Several days ago, there is an issue that Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was issued a "Public Health Advisory" which take steps to remove phenylpropanolamine from all drug products and has requested that all drug companies discontinue marketing products containing it.
Based on the issue, FDA was issued this advisory on March 1st 2009. So, everything which contains phenylpropanolamine, such as DECOLGEN, DECOLSIN, SINUTAB, ALLERIN, BODREXIN, CONTAC 500, COSYR, FLUCYL, FLUDANE, FLUGESIC, INZA, KOMIX, MIXAFLU, MIXAGRIP, NALGESTAN, NEOZEP FORTE, NODROF, PARASUTIN, PROCOLD, RHINOTUSSAL, SANAFLU, SILADEX, STOPCOLD, TRIAMIN. Is it true that they are contain phenylpropanolamine (PPA)? To answer this question, please check it at links.
After I search on Google, this issue is an hoax. Why? Because FDA is not issued a "Public Health Advisory" about PPA at 1 March 2009. That is true if the the date was on November 2000.
