The FDA has issued a public health advisory to Americans with a concern about an ingredient commonly found in many over-the-counter and prescription cold medications, cough suppressants, nasal decongestant and over-the-counter
weight loss products that promote appetite suppression. Many children’s cough and cold medications contain this contraversial drug! Find out which ones!

cough and cold recall

Thanks for the recall notice! I went to give my 21month old Dimetapp for infants and decided to check the ingredients and PPA was listed in it. Glad I had read your article and checked the bottle!

I love hearing things like this -- I'm glad you found the article useful! My pharmacist recommended I use Benadryl in it's place -- I too was using Dimetap when the story originally came out. Hope your little one gets to feeilng better soon! Welcome aboard!
