Health Canada Warns Against Chinese Diet Pills!

Although not currently available in Canada, Health Canada is warning consumers to avoid two weight loss products from China. These products, called "Super Fat Burning" and "LiDa Daidaihua Slimming Capsules" have been found to contain sibutramine, a prescription diet drug also known as meridia (for a full review of the meridia diet pill, please click here!). Meridia is prescribed for weight loss, and is fairly potent as far as this goes. However, its use must be prescribed and overseen by a licensed physician as it does exhibit some fairly serious side effects, including increased heart rate and blood pressure. It also interacts with antidepressants that effect serotonin levels.
