Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hi all, Taken from: http://medicines.mhra.gov.uk/ourwork/licensingmeds/herbalmeds/herbalsafety.h tm#sibutramine We have become aware of the supply of a TCM slimming aid called Qing zhisan tain shou on the UK market, which contains the prescription only medicine (POM) sibutramine. Sibutramine should only be prescribed under specific circumstances and requires the supervision of registered doctor as it can cause a rise in blood pressure. Qing zhisan tain shou is supplied in a bicolour cream and brown capsule form. The capsules are contained within blister packs and presented in a white and green carton with various lettering and imagery. The TCM slimming products Li Da Dai Dai Hua and MEIZITANG have also been seized by the Netherlands authorities and have been found to contain sibutramine. Due to the international trade in such products it is possible that these, or similar products, have found their way onto the UK market and consumers are urged to be vigilant.
