It’s official that the South American country of Brazil is the worst offender when it comes to the abuse of slimming pills. Brazil is famous for its sexy women and beautiful beaches which puts pressure on the millions of women there to stay thin and to use diet pills. The research that was done by the International Narcotics Control Board shows that not only are the Brazilians the biggest consumers of dangerous diet pills but they are also the biggest producers.

In Brazil it is easy to find both fenproporex and amfepramone which are considered to be the most popular and widely used anorectics in the country. In fact the INCB estimates that in Brazil the use of these drugs is around 40% greater than the use of these anorectics in the United States. These drugs that are sold on the street in Brazil have been known to cause people to become anorexic and their side effects also include panic attacks, extreme anger, convulsions, and even comas and death when over used.
Other countries that use a lot of these anorectics drugs are Argentina, South Korea, America and Singapore and are being increasingly found in societies that put a lot of stress on people being thin and slim. Illegal weight loss medication has been seen to contain not only weight loss drugs but also anti depressant medication so that people who use them feel good about themselves. This is extremely dangerous as it can cause them to get addicted to them even when they become slim.
Ukmedix advises that you stay well away from all anorectics and only use weight loss medication that is EMEA or FDA approved and that requires a prescription from a doctor. Two dangerous weight loss medications to look out for from Brazil are called Herbathin and Emagrece Sim.
