Drug Recalls

This may be old news for some, but for those who may not be aware, it is important for your health.

All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are being recalled.
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. The FDA recommended that everyone ( even children ) seek alternative
medicine.

My cousin called the 800# on the container for Triaminic and they informed her that they are voluntarily recalling the following medicines because of a certain ingredient that is causing strokes and seizures in children :

Orange3D 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!
