_____________________
Please clarify for me whether or not PRESCRIPTION medications containing
PPA 
have been ordered for removal.  Walgreens Pharmacy says they have been
and 
will not fill my prescription.  I was able to transfer my prescription
to 
another pharmacy which did fill it.

If it is true that prescription medications containing PPA have been
ordered 
to be removed, please voice my complaint to the proper authority.  I use
PPA 
as authorized and supervised by my physician.  I use it for three
purposes, 
the main one being the relief it gives me from sinus congestion. 
Without PPA 
I suffer from debilatating headaches.  Sudafed is NOT as effective as
PPA 
and has the unacceptable property of disturbing sleep.  

In addition to the decongestant properties, PPA is effective in
controlling 
my "stress incontinence" problem and in helping to curb my appetite.  

I have been taking this medication for 5 years and have tried everything
else 
available without success.  Those of us who use this substance
responsibly 
should not have to suffer because of people who abuse the
over-the-counter 
products.

I am extremely upset about the removal of this prescription medication.

Thank you for your time,
