This is very old news, and for some people, that medicine was the only effective one they could use, so not everyone was happy when that was taken off of the market. The incidences of any side effects from the PPA (the short name for phenylpropanolamine) were scarce and it is still available by Rx because it still is a very good drug. By now all of the old OTC Dimetapp and such with the stuff should have expired and been tossed anyway. Don't toss your current Dimetapp, it doesn't contain PPA.
