could even cause heart attacks and strokes if given to the wrong people
The medical health authorities in Canada have warned yet again about the dangers of using illegal weight loss products after clinical testing showed that a product which was promoted and marketed as being natural turned out to contain impure powerful prescription compounds.
The product called Nutural Slim was found to have considerable amounts of a doctored form of sibutramine which is the active ingredient in the prescription drug Reductil. The problem with Nutural Slim was that no mention of this compound was made on the labeling or packaging of the product and it was being sold over the counter without a prescription. This sort of illegal activity is not only criminal but could even cause heart attacks and strokes if given to the wrong people.
Health Canada said that the product which was manufactured by a Chinese organisation called Yingtai TCM Pharma Company was not licensed for sale in Canada and was being sold online by illegal online pharmacies.
At Ukmedix News we are aware that many people feel that the use of natural products to lose weight is superior and healthier than using prescription medication. However the evidence is that the majority of the so called natural products are in fact loaded with dangerous concoctions of doctored prescription medications which have not been clinically tested and thus are extremely dangerous.
People have died from using so called natural weight loss products which they purchased over the counter. We cannot stress the importance of always making sure that your doctor knows about the use of any weight loss product you are using.
The weight loss drug Reductil which is manufactured by Abbott Laboratories is probably the most effective appetite suppressant on the market today and is used by millions of people around the world safely. Using fake versions of sibutramine or similar compounds without a prescription opens you up to a whole list of dangerous potential side effects. If you become seriously ill as a result of buying “natural” weight loss products on the internet you only have yourself to blame.
At the Ukmedix web site it is possible to check that the Reductil you buy is genuine, legally supplied and from a licenced UK pharmacy by using the Pharmacheck system.

Rizzo, don't be scared. Notice that the author mentions people dying due to over the counter weight loss products BUT failed to ELABORATE and DISCLOSE his SOURCES. Anyone can write an article claiming all sorts of things: it means NOTHING without the necessary naming of SOURCES. As for sibutramine, I'm taking it again thanks to the kindness of a friend (I have no health insurance so it is extremely difficult for me to get appetite suppressants). I did thank her but having taken this drug before for 60 days and losing only four pounds (less than two kilos) I know it is garbage. On the other hand, I'd say that THE BEST appetite suppressant you can put your hands on is ANFEPRAMONE CLORIDRATE. I should know because I tried them all. Good luck and remember not to fear articles apparently based on the author's personal opinion only, i.e., claiming this and that but providing no proof of such claims.

Alcyone, the source of this article as is made quite clear in the first sentence are the health authorities in Canada namely Health Canada. You could get seriouly ill using Anfepramone Cloridrate, but it's your call. Don't say we didn't warn you...

this is like taking drugs......... if you are not monitored by a doctor i.e. prescription you can become dependent on buying them from different sources. Be aware of the dangers of buying something because its available without a prescription as there is no one to hold responsible.
