Subject: PPA

I relied on Entex to keep my sinus headaches under control.  In the last
month I have had headaches at least 4 of every 7 days.  I can understand
removing over-the-counter medications containing PPA and issuing a
warning not to use PPA for overweight people or people with high blood
pressure.  The removal of an effective prescription drug is excessive.
The replacement prescribed by my physician - pseudoephedrine/guaifenesin
- has bad side-effects for me,  what am I supposed to do?
