PPA Lawyer, Phenylpropanolamine Attorney

PPA (Phenylpropanolamine)

Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) is a chemical found in many over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription cold and cough medications, nasal decongestants and OTC appetite suppressant and weight loss products.

The FDA recall stems from concerns that PPA increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into the brain or into tissue surrounding the brain), especially in young women. However, because FDA does not control OTC drugs, PPA is still available over the counter and continues to pose a health risks to women and men who use those products that contain PPA.
