THE US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday advised consumers who have Slimming Beauty Bitter Orange Slimming Capsules not to use the product.
The FDA warns that the capsules contain the active pharmaceutical ingredient sibutramine, a prescription-only drug which is a stimulant.
Sibutramine is not listed on the product label and could harm consumers.
FDA lab tests reveal that the product contains excessive amounts of sibutramine that may be dangerous to people who have a history of cardiovascular disease, because it can lead to elevated blood pressure, stroke, and heart attack.
Consumers who are otherwise healthy and who take the amount of sibutramine found in Slimming Beauty capsules can experience anxiety, nausea, heart palpitations, a racing heart, insomnia, and elevated blood pressure. Sibutramine also may interact with other medications and can cause serious side effects. Xinhua
