Friday the US Food and Drug Administration warned consumers not to use two dietary weight loss supplements made in Brazil - Emagrece Sim Dietary Supplement and Herbathin Dietary Supplement. Both supplements may contain the active ingredients chlordiazepoxide and fluoxetine, together with other RX ingredients.
In addition to possibly containing ingredients found in some prescription drugs, both supplements contain fenproporex, a stimulant not approved in the US.
Use of these products may have serious side effects. The FDA also notes that fenproporex can cause a urinalysis to test positive for amphetamines.
