I have received an email warning (confirmed by Snopes.com) that the drug PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE can cause stroke. It advises that this drug is contained in Alka Seltzer Cold tablets.  Checking the label on the cold tablets, the drug contained is PHENYLEPHRINE.  Should this warning be heeded? Are these two different drugs?
