Weight Loss Product Fruta Planta Contains Recalled Drug Sibutramine
|
The FDA has received multiple reports of adverse events from the use of Fruta Planta, including several cardiac events and one death. FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Fruta Planta contains Sibutramine, a controlled substance that was withdrawn from the market in October 2010.
Fruta Planta was promoted and sold on various websites as a dietary supplement for weight loss. The product poses a threat to consumers because Sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or stroke. Fruta Planta may also interact in life threatening ways with other medications a consumer may be taking.
Consumers should stop using Fruta Planta immediately. Consumers who have experienced any negative side effects should consult a health care professional as soon as possible. Consumers also should report negative side effects to the FDA. You may do so online HERE. Also, save the product packaging, as it may help your ability to make a legal claim if you desire to do so. |
