Phenylpropanolamine Contained in Cold Remedies and Risk of Hemorrhagic Stroke
Neurol 68:146-149, Yoon,B.W.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In this study, we sought to elucidate whether phenylpropanolamine (PPA) in cold remedies (small and divided doses) increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke 9HS). PPA exposure significantly increased the risk, and the risk was much higher in women. In women, linear trends were also found in recency, duration, and dosage of PPA exposure. PPA contained in cold remedies increases the risk of HS, particularly in women.
