Re: Phenylpropanolamine(PPA), a nasal decongestant in tablet form that
was removed from the US market not long ago because it caused strokes
in some elderly women -- Are there any counties where PPA is still
available?  If so, can you recommend any specific sources (including
on-line) to purchase it?  I am asking because I am *not* an elderly
woman and this is the only decongestant that works for me!
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

Many compounding pharmacies, such as Wedgewood Pharmacy (
http://www.wedgewoodpharmacy.com ), still carry PPA, which is
frequently used in the treatment of urinary problems in dogs.

Apparently a prescription from either a physician or a veterinarian is
now necessary in order to obtain PPA in the United States.
