Ephedrine is an extremely dangerous compound

The Ministry of Health in Malaysia has put out a statement warning about a number of different weight loss products that have been shown to be extremely dangerous. At Ukmedix News we make it a point to publicise health warnings coming from all parts of the world regarding dangerous weight loss medication.
In this case when the Malaysian Drug Control Authority tested Chatlin Brand Hao Zhou San which is produced by the Shanghai Chatlin Pharmaceutical Company it was found that it contained ephedrine.

Herbal Weight Loss Medicine Laced With Ephedrine

Ephedrine is an extremely dangerous compound which is often found in illegal weight loss medication. This compound speeds up the metabolism and the heart and is known to cause high blood pressure and respiratory problems and in some cases has even brought on heart attacks and death. At Ukmedix News we cannot stress strongly enough the dangers of using ephedrine.

The other product that the Malaysian Drug Control Authority warned about was San Qi Luohan Chuanbei Plus which was found to contain pseudoephedrine which is basically an analogue compound of ephedrine and therefore just as dangerous.  This product also had another compound in it called chlorpheniramine which is known to aggravate chronic lung illnesses and asthma as well as causing drowsiness.

What makes the manufacturers of these products so despicable is that they have advertised them as being completely traditional and natural and make no mention of the fact that they contain these highly dangerous compounds. At Ukmedix News we have come to believe that the majority of herbal weight loss products are in fact not herbal at all but have been spiked with dangerous compounds.

Using these compounds could make you lose weight but they could also kill you. Many people died from using ephedrine in the United States when it first became known and its side effects were not fully understood. You have been warned! Stay away from any weight loss product that is not prescribed by doctor.
