Untuk Rekan yang sudah tahu mengenai bahayanya PPA (Phenyl Propanol Amine) yang
bisa menyebabkan penyakit stroke bilamana dipakai terus menerus, mungkin sudah
faham, bahwa banyak sekali produk obat flu yang sudah mengganti komposisinya
dari PPA (Phenyl Propanol Amine) menjadi PseudoEphedrine, seperti misalnya
produk Inza yang sudah tidak menggunakan PPA. dengan komposisi baru yang lebih
aman.......yaitu Pseudoephedrine.
Hal tersebut terpaksa dilakukan meskipun PseudoEphedrine harganya lebih
mahal... tetapi PPA sudah dilarang bahkan oleh FDA (Food and Drug
Administration) di Amerika, yang mencantumkan bahayanya PPA, seperti terlihat
pada website berikut:
http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/ANSWERS/ANS01051.html
Tetapi Produk Sanaflu masih menggunakan PPA yang berbahaya, selain itu juga
sebetulnya produk ini tidak manjur..... untuk Flu, karena umumnya obat Flu
mengandung 3 komponen:
1. Anti nyeri/ Anti Panas.................biasanya Paracetamol....
2. Dekongestan.......obat kuno pakai PPA, sedangkan obat yang lebih aman
pakai Pseudoephedrine.
3. Anti allergi...................umumnya CTM atau diphenhydramine. memang
mengakibatkan kantuk.
Sedangkan Sanaflu agar murah hanya memakai 2 komponen ke-1 dan ke-2. dan
untuk komponen 2 masih memakai obat kuno PPA yang berbahaya.
Seharusnya obat ini harganya MURAH sekali.....karena menghemat dengan hanya
terdiri atas 2 jenis obat. dan menggunakan bahan yang KUNO dan BERBAHAYA dan
PELIT bahan.........
dan bila digunakan terus, bisa menyebabkan penyakit STROKE dan JANTUNG !!!!
Terlampir di bawah ini adalah peringatan dari FDA mengenai bahayanya PPA yang
terkandung juga di Sanaflu...
Jadi...sekali lagi...jangan terpancing oleh hebatnya Iklan TV atau iklan
Radio atau Iklan majalah dan koran..... memang cukup aneh bahwa justru obat
yang berbahaya bisa beriklan dengan gencar dengan hanya sedikit mencantumkan
resiko dan bahayanya........

FDA ISSUES PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING ON PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE FDA, today, is
taking steps to remove phenylpropanolamine from all drug products and has
requested that all drug companies discontinue marketing products containing
phenylpropanolamine.
FDA today issued a public health advisory concerning the risk of hemorrhagic
stroke, or bleeding into the brain, associated with phenylpropanolamine
hydrochloride. Phenylpropanolamine is an ingredient used in many
over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription cough and cold medications as a
decongestant and in OTC weight loss products.
Adverse events reported with these products led to concerns that this
ingredient might increase the risk of hemorrhagic strokes. Manufacturers of
products containing phenylpropanolamine worked with FDA to plan a research
program to clarify whether any increase in risk exists.
Scientists at Yale University School of Medicine conducted the study in which
the researchers found an association between phenylpropanolamine use and stroke
in women. The increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke was detected among women
using the drug for weight control, and for nasal decongestion, in the 3 days
after starting use of the medication. Men may also be at risk.
The Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee met on October 19 to discuss
safety issues related to phenylpropanolamine use. The committee reviewed Yales
Hemorrhagic Stroke Project results and concluded that phenylpropanolamine
cannot be considered to be safe for continued use.
FDA believes that although the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is very low, even
with phenylpropanolamine use, the conditions for which these products are used
do not appear to warrant an increased risk of this serious event from using
this drug. We advise consumers to discuss alternative over-the-counter and
prescription products with their health care providers or pharmacists.
Information about the history of phenylpropanolamine, the Public Health
Advisory, and the stroke study results can be found on the FDA website
at:www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopage/ppa/default.htm.
