DRUG RECALL INFORMATION

All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are being
recalled.

To confirm these findings please take time to check
the following:

http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopage/ppa/

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.

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!

DO PASS ALONG TO ALL ON YOUR MAILING LIST so people
are informed. They can then pass it along to their
families.





Peace and Love to all of my friends,family,and members of Eggie's World.
