Topic: DANGEROUS DRUGS
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently warned consumers using Iovate Health Sciences' diet supplement Hydroxycut to stop using the dietary supplement immediately. The Hydroxycut products marketed for energy and weight loss under the Iovate and MuscleTech trade names. An association between Hydroxycut products and serious renal issues, including liver and kidney injuries, has been demonstrated by several users of the dietary supplements.
One death case due to liver failure has been reported to the FDA and at least 23 adverse event reports (e.g., jaundice, elevated liver enzymes and liver damage requiring a liver transplant). Other symptoms of health problems reported to the FDA include seizures, cardiovascular disorders and rhabdomyolysis.
The FDA has not identified the ingredients, dosages, or other factors that are contributing to the above described risks related to the Hydroxycut. The FDA continues its investigation of the potential relationship between Hydroxycut dietary supplements and liver injury or other serious health problems.
