Decongestant: PPA has been used as a nasal decongestant to relieve symptoms associated with nasal congestion, sinus congestion, and allergies. It works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, thereby reducing swelling and congestion.
Appetite Suppressant: PPA has been included in some weight loss and appetite suppressant products. It acts centrally to decrease appetite and promote weight loss, although its efficacy for this purpose is controversial.
Hemorrhagic Stroke: One of the most significant health impacts associated with phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride is its association with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain), particularly in young women. This risk led to regulatory actions in many countries, including the withdrawal of PPA-containing products from the market.
Cardiovascular Effects: PPA is a sympathomimetic agent, meaning it mimics the actions of the sympathetic nervous system. It can increase heart rate and blood pressure, which may be problematic in individuals with cardiovascular diseases or hypertension.
Central Nervous System Stimulation: PPA can have stimulant effects on the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as restlessness, insomnia, anxiety, and tremors.
Psychiatric Effects: In some individuals, PPA may exacerbate or precipitate psychiatric symptoms such as agitation, psychosis, or mood disturbances.
Urinary Effects: PPA can act as a urinary tract stimulant, potentially leading to urinary retention or difficulty urinating in susceptible individuals.
Drug Interactions: PPA may interact with other medications, including monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), leading to potentially serious adverse effects such as serotonin syndrome.
Withdrawal from Market: Due to safety concerns, particularly the association with hemorrhagic stroke, many regulatory agencies worldwide have banned or restricted the use of PPA in pharmaceutical products.
Other Adverse Effects: PPA may also cause other adverse effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), dizziness, headache, and allergic reactions.

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
