Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant. It works by constricting (shrinking) blood
vessels (veins and arteries) in your body. Constriction of blood vessels in your sinuses, nose, and
chest allows drainage of those areas, which decreases congestion.
Phenylpropanolamine is used to treat the congestion associated with allergies, hay fever,
sinus irritation, and the common cold. Phenylpropanolamine also causes a decrease in appetite
and is used in some over-the-counter diet aids.
Phenylpropanolamine has been associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke
(bleeding into the brain or into tissue surrounding the brain) in women. Men may also be at risk.
Although the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is low, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
recommends that consumers not use any products that contain phenylpropanolamine.
Phenylpropanolamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this
medication guide.
