Public Health Advisory: Safety of Phenylpropanolamine
« on: January 19, 2009, 08:39:14 pm »
FYI lang mga espiya, alam nyo ba na according sa The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lahat ng medicine containing phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride (PPA) - Ito'y kadalasang ginagamit as a nasal decongestant (in over-the-counter and prescription drug products) and for weight control (in over-the-counter drug products) ay nakasasama sa ating kalusugan? Dahil ang PPA daw ay nag-iinduce ng Hemoragic Stroke (Bleeding of the Brain). Ilan sa mga gamot sa Pilipinas na merong PPA ay:
- Alkaseiltzer
- Dimetapp
- Robitussin
- Dexatrim
- Bioflu
- Sinutab
- Decogen
- at ang sikat na Neozep.

Yup that's true... matagal na yang news na yan... But from what I knw nireformulate na rin ang mga decongestants dito sa Pinas. If you'll notice, the Decolgen and Neozep preparations now contain Phenylephrine instead of PPA. Sinutab however still contains PPA as well as the pediatric preps like Disudrin and Bioflu.

Wala naman tayong magagawa jan kasi walang research talaga jan. Dapat aabutin ng YEARS para lang magawa yang research na yan. Pero sino bang tanga ang magsasara ng sarili niyang produkto di ba? ^_^

PPA has a tendency to induce hypertension (high blood pressure).. kaya ang outcome is hemorrhagic stroke (ruptured vessel in the brain; a ischemic stroke kasi is baradong ugat in the brain).. kaya we MDs take care in prescribing PPA to hypertensives...

basta sipon, and wala naman kayo known illnesses, safe naman gumamit ng PPA... ingat lang pag may high blood or sa may idad na... the best and cheapest is still plain water... 6-8 glasses per day and more (Water therapy kumbaga  ::)) the bulk ng sipon and plegma is still water, kaya pag dehydrated ka, matigas ang plegma ng ubo...
