> Hi Cam - thanks very much for your reply. I don't know what the active ingredient was, as I no longer have any of the containers. But I was told it was amphetimine based.
PPA is phenylpropanolamine. Amphetamine is phenylisopropylamine. They're both indirect-acting sympathomimetic amines. They cause blood vessels to constrict, which increases the chances of a hemorrhagic stroke.
