phenylpropanolamine
Phenylpropanolamine is a synthetic compound typically used in pharmaceutical drugs for its decongestant and appetite suppressive properties. It stimulates the body's sympathetic nervous system activity to narrow blood vessels and reduce nasal and sinus congestion, or to decrease appetite. However, it has been removed from the market in several countries due to its potential health risks, including stroke in women.

Phenylpropanolamine
Phenylpropanolamine, also known as the stereoisomers norephedrine and norpseudoephedrine, is a psychoactive drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine chemical classes which is used as a stimulant, decongestant, and anorectic agent. It is commonly used in prescription and over-the-counter cough and cold preparations. In veterinary medicine, it is used to control urinary incontinence in dogs under trade names Propalin and Proin. In the United States, PPA is no longer sold without a prescription due to a proposed increased risk of stroke in younger women. In a few countries in Europe, however, it is still available by either prescription or sometimes over-the-counter. In Canada, it was withdrawn from the market on May 31, 2001. In India human use of PPA and its formulations were banned on 10 February 2011.
