The United States: Public Notification: Ultra Fit contains hidden drug ingredients sibutramine and N-desmethylsibutramine (English Only)
 
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Ultra Fit, a product promoted for weight loss. This product was identified during an examination of international mail shipments. FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Ultra Fit contains sibutramine and N-desmethylsibutramine.

Sibutramine is a controlled substance that was removed from the market in Oct 2010 for safety reasons. N-desmethylsibutramine is a substance structurally similar to sibutramine. The product poses a threat to consumers because sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or heart rate in some people and may present a significant risk for people with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke. This product may also interact, in life-threatening ways, with other medications a consumer may be taking.

Please refer to the following website in FDA for details: http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/../ucm629903.htm

In Hong Kong, the above product is not a registered pharmaceutical product.
