| The United States: Public Notification: Dr. Reade Slim Sense contains hidden drug ingredient (English only) |
| |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Dr. Reade Slim Sense, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites and possibly in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Dr. Reade Slim Sense contains lorcaserin, a controlled substance and the active ingredient in the withdrawn prescription drug Belviq, formerly used for chronic weight management in some overweight or obese adults. Lorcaserin may cause psychiatric disturbances and impairments in attention or memory.
Belviq was withdrawn from the market on September 2020, after FDA requested that the manufacturer voluntarily withdraw the drug because of a safety clinical trial that showed an increased occurrence of cancer. Further, this hidden drug ingredient may also interact with other medications and significantly increase the risk of adverse events.
Please refer to the following website in FDA for details:http://www.fda.gov/drugs/medication-health-fraud/public-notification-dr-reade-slim-sense-contains-hidden-drug-ingredient
In Hong Kong, the above product is not a registered pharmaceutical product.
