A member asked:
Is phenylephrine the equivalent to phenylpropanolamine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Similar but not same: Both are decongestants. Ppa, however, was removed from market due to effects on blood pressure & association with hemorrhagic strokes. Phenylephrine is deemed less hazardous, but caution should still be exercised when administered to a person with hypertension.
