Herbal Remedy for Weightloss Recalled for Containing Sibutramine

What is sibutramine?  It was the first time I had ever heard of it when I heard that an herbal weight loss remedy called Slim-30 was recalled because it was found to contain traces of this appetite suppressing drug.

Sibutramine is a medical grade, prescription appetite suppressant which can have certain side effects that may render it harmful if taken by people with pre existing health conditions, especially if they are taking it in an herbal product that they think only contains other certain naturally derived ingredients.

We have heard stories like this before, where herbal remedies or herbal supplements are supposed to be all natural appetite suppressants, and only contain untouched herbs and other natural vitamins and minerals, and it is found that they actually contain medical prescription ingredients.

This has happened a few times in the realm of male enhancement remedies which claim to be all natural. I think once that traces of prescription male enhancement drugs were found in a few herbal remedies for things like libido and male performance, and they were recalled as well.

The bad apples like that ruin it for all the legit herbal remedies that really only do contain ingredients that are on the label and that are natural, not putting clients well being at risk by putting drugs in them that may endanger their healthy or perhaps interact with other drugs they may already be taking.

That is the biggest danger of course, that and the fact that existing health conditions like high blood pressure or heart problems may be worsened if the prescription is taken unbeknownst to the customer.

Sibutramine is a prescription appetite suppressant that works on the appetite control centers of the brain, and it may have certain side effects and be dangerous for those with high blood pressure or heartbeat irregularities to take.

The company that distributes the Slim-30 product were very responsible in their recall of the product after it was found to contain the prescription medication, to props to them. No negative side effects or interactions were reported, so it looks like it was taken off the market in the nick of time.
