Los Angeles PPA Injury Attorneys
Phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride,
or PPA, is a drug used as a decongestant in many over-the-counter
and prescription cough and cold medications. It has also been used
in a number of weight loss products. The Food and Drug Administration
has removed PPA from all drug products and has requested that all
drug companies discontinue marketing products containing PPA. In
addition, the FDA issued a public health advisory concerning the
risk of hemorrhagic stroke, or bleeding into the brain, associated
with phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride. A report by scientists at
Yale University School of Medicine concluded a direct link between
PPA and increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke, particularly in women.
Men may also be at risk, though to a lesser degree.
Stroke Warning Signs:
- Sudden Weakness or Numbness of the face, arm/leg
on one side of the body.
- Sudden dimness or loss of vision particularly
in one eye.
- Loss of Speech, or trouble talking or understanding
speech.
- Sudden, severe headaches with no known or
