| Australia: Super Slim Green Lean Body capsules pose a serious risk to your health and should not be taken |
| |
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has tested a product labelled Super Slim Green Lean Body capsules and found that the capsules contain the undeclared substance sibutramine. Consumers are advised that sibutramine is a prescription-only medicine (which was the active ingredient in Reductil). Sibutramine was withdrawn from the Australian market in Oct 2010 after a study showed an increased risk of major cardiac events. Consumers are advised to stop taking Super Slim Green Lean Body capsules and take any remaining capsules to their local pharmacy for safe disposal. If they have any concerns arising from their use of this product, consult their health care practitioner.
Please refer to the following website in TGA for details:

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