USA has banned these tablets! What about India?

The US FDA had BANNED tablets containing PHENYL PROPANOL AMIDE or PPA

In the USA, PPA is no longer sold without a prescription due to a increased risk of stroke in young adults, especially women. And Canada withdrew drugs containing PPA from the market, way back in 2001!
Want some live proof too? Here it is.
