was taken into hospital by her friends after she became unconscious
The newsroom at Ukmedix News has picked up the latest warnings regarding the dangerous weight loss product called Ener Day. The product which has caused health complications in a number of women appears to have been made in China and contains unspecified amounts of a powerful appetite suppressant called sibutramine.
One of the women who became ill was 21 years old and was taken into hospital by her friends after she became unconscious. It appears that despite following the recommendations on the packaging she had overdosed because of the poor quality of the product. The majority of illegal weight loss medication makes no mention of the medication that it contains and in fact very often gives misleading information.
The drug sibutramine is legal only when it is prescribed in the appetite suppressant Reductil. Reductil is perfectly safe provided that you get a prescription and have a doctor’s consultation, but for some people it is not recommended and therefore using these illegal weight loss medications is extremely dangerous for them, especially as the quantity of the drugs are not stated.
Chinese weight loss medication is being sold all around the world through the use of spam e-mail and illegal websites. The majority of it contains controlled medications which are normally prescribed by doctors. The companies that make these illegal weight loss medications operate in substandard conditions and very often produce poor quality compounds which have not been tested properly by any relevant health authority around the world.
All around the world police are arresting smugglers who trade in these dangerous weight loss medications and who have no regard for the health of the people they sell it to. They have caused the number of deaths around the world and they will continue to do so if people continue to buy them.

I agree that some slimming drugs from china may contain illigal substances but not all are dangerious. I used Chinese slimming tea to maintain a slim figure for years and never had any problems of any sort. I was active and slept well. Slimmimg aids are very expensive in many part of the world, and the western world have and still continue to make billions of £/$ in this industry, as a result people will always seek cheaper altenatives. The way forward is for the so called recognised phermacuitical companies to make safe slimming aids available to all at affordable price. 'Bad pressing' Chinese slimming drugs will not stop people. You have to be in that position (over weight} to understand why people will take such risk. Not much different from going under the knife for the same purpose is it?
