Drug Recall

[winnie]

I got this sent to me from someone through email I thought I would see your views on it.

All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are being
recalled. You may want to try calling the 800 number listed on
most drug boxes and inquire about a REFUND.
Please read this CAREFULLY. Also, please pass this on
to everyone you know.

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.

The following medications contain Phenylpropanolamine:

Acutrim Diet Gum Appetite Suppressant
Acutrim Plus Dietary Supplements
Acutrim Maximum Strength Appetite Control
Alka-Seltzer Plus Children's Cold Medicine Effervescent
Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold medicine (cherry or orange)
Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Medicine Original
Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold & Cough Medicine Effervescent
Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold & Flu Medicine
Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold & Sinus Effervescent
Alka Seltzer Plus Night-Time Cold Medicine
BC Allergy Sinus Cold Powder
BC Sinus Cold Powder
Comtrex Flu Therapy & Fever Relief
Day & Night Contac 12-Hour Cold Capsules
Contac 12 Hour Caplets
Coricidin D Cold, Flu & Sinus
Dexatrim Caffeine Free
Dexatrim Extended Duration
Dexatrim Gelcaps
Dexatrim Vitamin C/Caffeine Free
Dimetapp Cold & Allergy Chewable Tablets
Dimetapp Cold & Cough Liqui-Gels
Dimetapp DM Cold & Cough Elixir
Dimetapp Elixir
Dimetapp 4 Hour Liquid Gels
Dimetapp 4 Hour Tablets
Dimetapp 12 Hour Extentabs Tablets
Naldecon DX Pediatric Drops
Permathene Mega-16
Robitussin CF
Tavist-D 12 Hour Relief of Sinus & Nasal
Congestion
Triaminic DM Cough Relief
Triaminic Expectorant Chest & Head
Triaminic Syrup Cold & Allergy
Triaminic Triaminicol Cold & Cough ....

I just found out and called the 800# on the container
for 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 & Allergy Cherry (Pink)
3D Cold & Cough Berry
3D Cough Relief Yellow 3D Expectorant

They are asking you to call them at 800-548-3708 with
the 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!

Bro, I thought they sent this out like 2 years ago and now all alka-sletzer cold remedies are in the clear! They were recalled right in the middle of me and a serious cold...that's how I remember. Went to the store and they had advertisments for this all over hte place and pulled my beloved cold medicine.

So, needless to say, this is ancient and all of the stuff back on the shelves doesn't contain the magic ingredient that makes your heart go wild.

Really, damn its funny how long something can stay in circulation. In case some people keep some of there older OTC drugs in the medicine cabinet for a long period of time, double check and make sure you're in the clear...
