Recently a drug known as PPA (phenylpropanolamine) was found to cause a higher risk of stroke or heart attack in women. Well, it is found in children's over the counter meds like Dinatapp and Triaminic. The FDA has found this drug unsafe and BOTH of theses cold meds SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN TO CHILDREN!!! In fact, ANYTHING with this drug in it should not be given to children! Ladies read those labels! Any medicine with this drug in is should have been removed from the shelf but you can still find them out there. Be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist about this it's important!!!Take care,
Diane
