    PPA (as it's commonly called) was pulled back in 2000 or 2001.  So, unless you have some really old, nasty drugs in your medicine cabinet, you're probably safe.

    What funny, though, is that PPA wasn't actually nearly as dangerous as they made it out to be.

    It was recalled in the late 90s here. You're not supposed to give your baby cough medicine anyway.

    So wtf is up with this aged post?

    Also, um, I was going to start jo on dexatrim so maybe this was timely.

    dexatrim will only curb her appetite for regular food, not other babies.  so, save your time and $$.  srsly, there was a study on dexatrim and cannibals.

    ;)

    maybe the girl a few posts up needs to read this before she puts her baby on acutrim.
