Talk:Phenylpropanolamine

message: I removed the "citation needed" flag from the section comparing the secondary to the primary amines. It's a basic chemical fact thus needing no further reference. The difference between norephedrine and ephedrine, amphetamine and methamphetamine, cathinone and methcathinone is the methyl group at the nitrogen.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bur (talk • contribs) 19:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Just wondering if phenylpropanolamine is banned in any major countries, and if so, where? — NRen2k5 13:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

message: That second textbox starting with Indicated for: wasn't very useful with just one field ("side effects") listed.  Unless someone wants to revert and fill in some of the 19 other fields, I've removed it.  Also, while I fixed several References, I don't know where to find the data missing from the drugInfoBox, so I placed an  tag on the page.  — VoxLuna (talk)  02:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have created a diagram with the four optical isomers. They are not labeled, however I plan on labeling them very soon. I didn't want to place them on the page yet because of this, and I don't know exactly where they should be placed. Any ideas?  Here's the image:   Ccroberts 03:17, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm not a regular poster...so excuse the anonomous post.  I wanted to look up dexatrim, and I was redirected to this page.  From what I gather on the Dexatrim labels, this is not one of its ingredients. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.129.125.31 (talk) 17:55, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was surprised by this, too. As of 2001, dexatrim no longer seems to contain phenylpropanolamine.   !jim 02:03, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a 2D-formulae and a 3D-formulae in the box. Both have different absolute configuration. They are diastereomers. Regards, --Jü (talk) 19:15, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You are absolutely correct, the box title, the chemical name, and the structure are all at odds. A molecule lacking stereochemical R and S descriptors should not even have a chem box (or be portrayed as a stingle stereoisomer). The article title name refers to a family of related compounds, and not to a single one.  I will try to attend to this soon.  Le Prof  Leprof 7272 (talk) 02:40, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: File:RS-Norephedrine 2.svg and :File:Phenylpropanolamine2.png look like the same stereoisomer to me. There is a conformational difference, with the ball&stick having the N "in the plane" vs wedged forward from C2 in the skeletal. For the stereochemistry to match, the methyl (C3) needs to be coming forward in the ball&stick, which it is, and likewise the H on C2 going away, which it is. One confusion at first glance is that the H on C2 is not the prominent one that looks like it is almost directly in front of C2 (that H has a visible bond to C3), but instead the one that is partly obscured by C3 (that H's bond is also mostly obscured, but is visibly oriented towards C2 when looking at a larger rendering than in the infobox).

message: I was surprised to find nothing on veterinary use.  My vet prescribed this for our dog to help with incontinence and it seems like it is often used for this.  I'd like to see a section on this and any potentially adverse side effects in canines.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.109.17.32 (talk) 17:32, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
