want to try calling the 800 number listed on most drug boxes and inquire =
about a REFUND. Please read this CAREFULLY. Also, please pass this on
to everyone you know.
STOP TAKING anything containing this ingredient. It has been linked to
increased hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain) among women ages
18-49 in the three days after starting use of medication. Problems

I just found out and called the 800# on the container for Triaminic
and they informed me that they are voluntarily recalling the following
medicines because of a certain ingredient that is causing strokes and
seizures in children:
Orange 3D Cold &Allergy Cherry (Pink)
3D Cold &Cough Berry

They are asking you to call them at 800-548-3708 with the lot number
on the box so they can send you postage for you to send it back to them,
and they will also issue you a refund.
If you know of anyone else with small children, PLEASE PASS THIS ON.
THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF!
DO PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL ON YOUR MAILING LIST so people are
informed.
They can then pass it along to their families.
