CVS has removed all products containing Phenylpropanolamine from their shelves.
This was seen on the News both last night and this morning. Thought it might be helpful for all of you
to have the list.  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.
Problems were not found in men, but the FDA recommended that everyone (even children) seek
alternative medicine.
