    Next time try and flavour us with an opinion. A thought of your own. A musing. Perhaps related to the story you're linking. Maybe quote the article too.

    Unreputable pills bought online might be bad for you?


    Well, duh.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    It's stupid but anyway...
    The Irish Medicines Board (IMB) revealed there has been a 600% increase in the number of slimming products seized in recent years that contain the substance Sibutramine.

    The drug has been withdrawn across Europe and around the world due to the increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.

    The IMB has issued a list of 38 online slimming products which still contain Sibutramine – some which fraudulently do not declare it among ingredients on the pack.

    It advised customers to stop taking them immediately and seek medical advice with any concerns.

    John Lynch, director of compliance at the IMB, said: “We are identifying Sibutramine containing products that, in some cases, are labelled as containing only natural ingredients.

    “In addition, the packaging is often quite sophisticated and is intended to convince purchasers they are buying legal and safe products.

    “The products are often presented as natural slimming aids but many do not refer to Sibutramine in their packaging and are deliberately misleading consumers.

    “Medicines containing Sibutramine have been removed from the worldwide market due to safety concerns.”

    The list of illegal Sibutramine containing products include Botanical Slimming 100% Natural Soft Gel (Capsules), which is also sold as Meizitang, Lipro Diet Pills, and Slimforte Slimming Coffee and Capsules.

    Mr Lynch said the public have no way of knowing whether medicines available on the internet contain what their labels claim.

    “Some of these medicines have been shown to contain too little or too much of the active ingredient while others contain the wrong active ingredient altogether or contain an additional active ingredient not listed on the packaging,” he added.

    “This is of particular concern in relation to Sibutramine because of its significant side effects.

    “Because the manufacture of these products is unregulated and does not comply with EU and Irish safety standards, there is absolutely no way for consumers to know how much Sibutramine is actually in the products or what other substances they may contain.

    “This poses serious health risks to those who use them.”

    Sibutramine showed questionable weight loss results after 12 months use anyway.

    Disclaimer:

    Op may also be a "Fattie" and has since discarded a very large stockpile of sibutramine and has resorted to more conventional weight loss means, i.e. walking :)
