About Ephedra and PPA(Phenylpropanolamine)

If you have suffered a hemorrhagic stroke as a result of taking PPA (Phenylpropanolamine) or Ephedra, you may be eligible to file a legal claim against the manufacturer and collect significant financial compensation. To see if you might have a claim, go to our free PPA/Ephedra case evaluator.

Following the publication of a study done by the Yale University School of Medicine, the Food and Drug Administration issued a public health advisory on November 6, 2000 warning individuals not to consume over-the-counter medications that contained PPA (phenylpropanolamine) or ephedra, an herbal additive. The Yale study showed a direct link between PPA, ephedra, and hemorrhagic stroke, or bleeding of the brain. The risk of stroke was especially high in women.
