The James Esparza Law Firm
Product Liability Lawyers
Salt Lake City, Utah
PPA (Phenylpropanolamine)
Please Note: The pharmaceutical liability attorneys at the James Esparaza law firm have represented countless clients in the Utah area who have been harmed by dangerous drugs, and we can help you, too. However, at this time, we are only accepting pharmaceutical liability cases for the following drugs: Levaquin, Yaz and Yasmin, and Transvaginal Mesh Patches. The link here indicates the drug cases we are no longer accepting so that we may focus our time and resources on victims who have been harmed by Levaquin, Yaz/Yasmin and the Transvaginal patches.
PPA is the abbreviation for the drug Phenylpropanolamine, which is used in many over-the-counter and prescription cough and cold remedies, including nasal decongestants, as well as in appetite control and weight loss products.
In May of 2000, a Yale University study that was reported to the FDA showed an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding of the brain) in people who were taking phenylpropanolamine.
