Liver damage, a result of Slimming Pill use

September 19, 2005

The British watch dog has warned weight loss drug users in the country that various Chinese medicines floating in the UK drug market can cause severe side effects like liver damage. The unlicensed medicines often contain toxic herbal ingredients which are not suited for use.

Some Slimming pills have medicines such as sibutramine and a stimulant called methylphenidate which can raise blood pressure. Also a banned herb aristolochia has been widely used in toxic slimming pills. These low quality products can cause health risks and complications in obese patients. The British watch dog also stated, many of these products are promoted as natural and safe and the hazardous ingredients may not be declared on the label.
