I just noticed yesterday that my pharmacy had nothing that contained PPA. There was a lot of empty space in the cough and cold section.
By the way, I would guess that pseudoephedrine (active ingredient in Sudafed) got its name because of its structural similarity to ephedrine. It is known to stimulate the CNS, and increases the quantity of norepinephrine in adrenergic nerve tissue (and can interact negatively with MAOIs). Perhaps that is why some people notice feeling a little more energetic after taking it. It also can decrease appetite. Unfortunately, I take it regularly and have never noticed either effect....such is life.
