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.
