There are many birthday wishes here on Medavo, and I’d like to add one more. On this day, we remember and celebrate the joy we felt when our sister was born. Although, I wasn’t around yet, so I suppose I’m just celebrating for her being my sister for 18 (almost) years
Happy Birthday, Dipti!
Statistically speaking, 353,015 people are born each day in the world. That means that of all the people who share your birthday, 7,413,315 of them are your age or younger. A few notable people born on April 15 are Leonardo DaVinci, Guru Nanak Dev (who founded Sikhism), Kim Il Sung (the first dictator of North Korea), and Emma Watson (who played Hermione in Harry Potter).
So what makes you so special?
First, your family. “Special” is a very subjective term, and it is the people around you who make you special. From birth, it is your family who considers you most special. We watched as you grew from a crying baby into a wonderful woman. We have, and always will, love you. Well, most of the time anyways 
.
Second, the things that you do. The subjectivity of the word “special” means you have to show the world that it should consider you to be special. The choices you make shape who you are, and the world will judge you by those choices. It is what you do that puts you on that list of births on April 15 on Wikipedia.
Know that you have a large group of people to support you. Do something notable. Have a merry birthday, Dipti.

Dipti,
When we spend time together
I want you to know
I enjoy your company so much
I don’t want to go
You’re someone I can count on
When I need a helping hand
You know me so well
You always understand
We have our ups and downs
This we both know
Through it all our bond
Still manages to grow
We may be different
In many ways
But we still enjoy each other
When together we spend our days
What I’m trying to tell you
You may already know
You’re an important part in my life
And I hope this I show
Thanks for all the times you’ve helped me, fought with me, and made me feel special. But, now, this is your special day.
You are twenty years old…you are old, how does it feel?

Questions and Answers
Safety of Phenylpropanolamine
November 6, 2000
1. What action is the FDA announcing today?
The FDA has asked firms that market pharmaceutical or drug products containing phenylpropanolamine (fen-el-pro-pa-nol-a-mine) to voluntarily discontinue marketing them. We are also alerting consumers to the risks associated with the use of products containing phenylpropanolamine.
2. What is phenylpropanolamine?
Phenylpropanolamine is an ingredient used in prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drug products as a nasal decongestant to relieve stuffy nose or sinus congestion and in OTC weight control drug products to control appetite.
3. Why is phenylpropanolamine unsafe when this product has been in use for many years?
On May 11, 2000, FDA received results of a study conducted by scientists at Yale University School of Medicine that showed an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding of the brain) in people who were taking phenylpropanolamine. Phenylpropanolamine has been used for many years and a very small number of people taking the drug have had strokes. The Yale study helped show that the number of people having strokes when taking phenylpropanolamine was greater than the number of people having strokes who were not taking phenylpropanolamine. Although the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is very low, FDA has significant concerns because of the seriousness of a stroke and the inability to predict who is at risk. Because of continued reports to the FDA of hemorrhagic stroke associated with phenylpropanolamine and the results of the Yale study, we now feel that the risks of using phenylpropanolamine outweigh the benefits and recommend that consumers no longer use products containing phenylpropanolamine.
4. Are there any population groups at higher risk when using products containing phenylpropanolamine?
The Yale University study showed that the risk of hemorrhagic stroke was found mostly in women; however, men may also be at risk.
5. What types of products contain phenylpropanolamine?
Phenylpropanolamine is found in some prescription and OTC nasal decongestants and cough/cold products and OTC products for weight control.
6. If a patient brings me, a pharmacist, a prescription containing phenylpropanolamine, should I fill it?
FDA has not said that such prescriptions should not be filled. However, you should make sure that both the prescriber and the consumer are aware that the drug contains phenylpropanolamine and have discussed the risks and benefits of taking the product as prescribed.
7. My family has been using products that contain phenylpropanolamine; is there any danger?
In the Yale study, the increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke was detected, among women using the drug for weight control and for nasal decongestion, in the 3 days after starting use of the medication. While the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is very small, for this reason we suggest you stop taking the drug immediately and use an alternative drug product.
8. Is there another medicine that I can take in place of my medicine that contains phenylpropanolamine?
Yes, there are other products on the market that do not contain phenylpropanolamine. Ask your pharmacist or health care provider what other products are available for your needs.
9. How will I know if my OTC products contain phenylpropanolamine?
OTC drug products containing this ingredient may be identified by looking for “phenylpropanolamine” in the list of active ingredients on the label. If you are still unsure, check with your pharmacist to help you determine if a product contains phenylpropanolamine.
10. How will I know if my prescription nasal decongestant or cough/cold products contains phenylpropanolamine?
If you are using a prescription nasal decongestant or cough/cold product you should talk to your pharmacist or health care provider to determine if phenylpropanolamine is present.
11. If I have questions about drug products whom can I call?
Call 1-888 INFO FDA (1-888-463-6332)
12. How can I report a side effect with phenylpropanolamine?
FDA encourages anyone aware of a serious adverse reaction, including consumers, to submit a MedWatch report.
You can report an adverse event in two ways:
Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch and click on “How to Report”
Call 1-800-FDA-1088
hey guys, i havent posted in a while, so heres something ashish and i will be preforming today:
Paras, Happy Birthday man. i was all geared up to write this post, but then, when i opened up Medavo, i saw your post. well, heres a quote from a book im reading now: Death must be fought with life, and that means courage and that means joy, said the Bard from his place beneath the apple trees.
“Nobody told me life would be harder than death.”
the book constantly talks about the battle between life and death, and i think it is partially true.
so with this quote, i leave you, paras, to turn 24 (wow your ooold!). 
Hey Dip,
just wishing you a happy 18th birthday . you can now legally buy and smoke cigarettes, buy lottery tickets, and get your driver’s licence! Have fun doing none of the above (except getting your licence of course)! Good luck selecting colleges, have fun at Case! (:-( why aren’t you’re not taking me). HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIP!!!!!
