Where do you live? In the US, phenylpropanolamine was pulled from the shelves years ago, and the drugs were reformulated. Many of the cold medicines were reformulated to use pseudoephedrine, and when it came under scrutiny, were reformulated yet again to use phenylephrine. Not that any of this matters, because I've been telling my patients not to take this junk for a quarter century, and almost none of them pay any attention.
