Phenylpropanolamin adalah obat influensa (decongestant) yang sejak 1 Maret 2009 ini oleh Badan pengawasan obat dan pangan Amerika (FDA) ditarik dari peredarannya karena terbukti dapat menyebabkan perdarahan di otak sebagai dampak sampingannya.
Di Indonesia terdapat kira2 100 obat2an yang mengandung phenylpropanolamine dan sering dipakai oleh masyarakat.. Obat2 itu a.l:
Decolgen, Decolsin, Sinutab, Stopcold, Allerin, Bodrexin, Contac 500, Cosyr (terutama untuk anak2), Flucyl, Fludane, Flugesic, Inza, Komix, Mixaflu, Mixagrip, Nalgestan, Neozep forte, Nodrof, Paratusin, Procold, Rhinopront, Rhinotussal, Sanaflu, Siladex, Stopcold, Triaminic drops (untuk anak2), Tusalgin .
