I recently saw a nutritionist from Mexico to start a diet plan and he sold me 3 diet pills 2 which I cannot identify. The one I know of is ifa norex, a light green round pill but the other one is an oval capsule. It is half light green half dark green and only says ifa on one of the halves. Does anyone know the full name of this one? The other one is a small red pill with the number 10 on it and nothing else. He only sells the ifa norex in their original package but the others he sells in just plastic bags. Does anyone know anything about what these are?

IFA Capsules

If you mean a gelatin capsule, here are some diet products made by Investigación Farmacéutica, S.A. de C.V. that come in capsule form:

IFA REDUCCING "S". auxiliar en el tratamiento de la obesidad. Cápsulas, INV. FARMACÉUTICA.
IFA-SLIM. Auxiliar en el tratamiento de la obesidad. Cápsulas y tabletas.. INV. FARMACÉUTICA.
ITRAVIL-IFA. anorexígeno, tratamiento de la obesidad. Cápsulas, Cápsulas adulto, INV. FARMACÉUTICA.

There could be other products too, but the medication section on the company's website is under construction.

If you want to know the ingredients in each IFA capsule, let me know and I'll post the ingredients. 

The red pill imprinted 10 is impossible to identify - the imprint is too vague.  It's probably 10 mg of something, but what?    A guess based on small size, red color and the number 10 might be 10 mg phenylephrine or a low-dose pseudoephedrine, both nasal decongestants that might cause nervous system stimulation.  Both drugs sound kind of dangerous if combined with any diet drug.

Itravil

The capsule you refer to (light and dark green) is Itravil by IFA.  I have taken it in the past with great success.  I only needed to lose about 20 pounds, and it really helped me out!  I experienced no major side effects.  Matter of fact, I purchased another 30 day supply this past week in Mexico.  (It was a few years ago that I took it before.)  Hope this helps.

I've purchased many diet

I've purchased many diet pills in Mexico, a lot of them I do not know what they are. I have also taken the one that you are talking about and have had great success with it. I lost 10 pounds in one month! I know that the pill contains natural source creatine which is a very healthy supplement. Good luck with your weight loss.

Question

What is the name of the diet pills you are taking now? I need to loose more than 50 pounds and I used to take a small light green pill with a blue pill 30min before each meal and one white pill that has an X on one side and the number 100 on the other side. I had great success with these pill but i never found out their name or where to get them. I also had to eat a certain diet.   Does anyone know the name of these pills or other great pills?  Please Help!
