Food and Drug Administration warned Americans today not 'to use dozens of cold remedies or appetite suppressants until their makers replace an ingredient that may cause hemorrhagic strokes especially in young women The ingredient called phenylpropanolamine or PPA is found in products ranging from Dexatnm to Iriaminic The FDA said it is taking steps to formally ban PPA but in the meantime wrote manufacturers asking them voluntarily to immediately quit selling products containing the ingredient The risk of a hemorrhagic stroke or bleeding in the brain is very small to an individual user But with millions of Americans swallowing PPA every day the FDA determined the ingredient could be to blame for 200 to 500 strokes just in people under age 50 — those who typically are too young to be at risk for strokes “We suggest you stop taking the drug immediately and use an alternative" says an FDA warning issued for consumers Monday Consumers should check the ingredient list of all nonpre- scription cold relievers for PPA and avoid those products the FDA said Instead they could use cold pills containing the ingre' dient pseudoephedrine or use nasal sprays However PPA is the only nonprescription diet ingredient bn the market There are prescription weight-los- s drugs so dieters should' consult their physicians about their options said FDA nonprescription drugs chief Dr Charles Ganley Drug manufacturers had fought the FDA’s decisions arguing that concern over the decades-ol- d ingredient was overblown But in a public hearing less than three weeks ago FDA’s scientific advisers dealt manufacturers a blow by voting unanimously that PPA is unsafe ' over-the-coun- material Pop star Madonna gyrated on Manhattan before for a just under two hours bjft missed the bike
