correction! Ephedra is NOT one of the ingredients of Phen-Fen, you're confusing it with Phentermine, which also has not been banned, it was the 'combination' that was banned. Ephedra is also NOT in the product Sudafed, which is pseudo-ephedrine. But caution IS advised with the use of Ephedra or in the form of the Muong Hua (sp?). They are considering a ban of ephedra, because of possible harmful side effects.
