Is there still anybody here who makes use of medications containing PPA? The USFDA already has issued a Public Health advisory regarding the use of medications containg PPA. It has been associated with increased risk of having stroke. Here in the Philippines many medicines that are bought over the counter are still being sold.

I've looked into some of the medicines that i'm taking in for colds and I saw that it contains PPA. My goodness! Is this true? I guess if it's from the USFDA it must be. I'm just shocked that it's not being or has not been published here in the Philippines.
I'll sure be looking for another kind of medicine that has no PPA. Thanks dude!
