Triaminic E pharmacology
Triaminic E (PPA), a sympathomimetic agent structurally similar to pseudoephedrine, is used to treat nasal congestion. Triaminic E is found in appetite suppressant formulations and with guaifenesinin in cough-cold formulations. In 2000, the FDA requested that all drug companies discontinue marketing products containing Triaminic E, due to an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke in women who used Triaminic E.
