I must have missed this on my regular recall notices, but I thought I should post it here. There is a long list of medications on it -- if you have any of the meds on hand, please call the 800-number on the label and check to be absolutely certain about this recall.

Medication Recall

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 (especially women and children) seek alternative medicine.

Note from the person who sent this to me:

"I just found out and called the 800 number 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."

Please double-check all your over-the-counter meds for this PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE and call any manufacturers that use it -- even if your particular bottle isn't recalled, it's better to be safe than sorry.
