Diet Pill Warning
So its the holidays- a time when some of us may put on a few extra pounds - or others may start thinking about a new year's resolution which includes shedding some extra weight. Before you chose a diet pill, make sure you do some research. The FDA has issued a warning for 28 diet drugs.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Food and Drug Administration is warning
against 28 weight-loss products you might be tempted to try after
the holidays. The FDA says they contain unlisted ingredients, including
powerful appetite-suppressing drugs and a suspected carcinogen. A
spokeswoman says in some cases, they have prescription drugs in
amounts that greatly exceed their maximum recommended dosages.
The FDA says none of the supplements lists the dangerous
ingredients on the label. The pills are advertised as "natural" fat busters, and have
names like Imelda Perfect Slim. Some suggest they are innovative
"herbal" remedies from Asia. The FDA is considering criminal charges against some of the companies because they have not responded to requests for recalls.
