Health Canada Warns Fatal Side Effects with Misuse of Kaizen Ephedrine HCL Pills
Health Canada has issued a warning, advising consumers not to take Kaizen Ephedrine HCL tablets for weight loss, energy purposes or other unintended uses, due to evidence of potentially fatal side effects.
The drug, that is produced by The Winning Combination as an over the counter nasal decongestant, has shown to have detrimental health effects in those using it in combination with caffeine and other stimulants. The side effects can range from tremors, dizziness, headaches, heart palpitations, seizures, heart attacks, psychosis and strokes and can be fatal.
Users who have exhibited these harmful side effects should discontinue use of Kaizen Ephedrine and contact a health professional immediately for an evaluation.
Health Canada advised that the drug, which contains the controversial ephedrine hydrochloride, may still be used for short-term purposes as a nasal decongestant, but should not be taken in combination with caffeine or other weight loss or energy stimulants.
Winning Combination has taken measures to eliminate material from their website which implies that Kaizen Ephedrine HCL is useful as a body fat reducer or energy supplement and has also removed pamphlets from circulation containing the faulty information.
As many Americans are now turning to Canadian pharmaceutical companies due to the rise in prescription medicine prices, it is important to be familiar with the risks associated with this or any drug.
If you believe that you may have been adversely affected by Kaizen Ephedrine, you may want to contact a qualified health professional to discuss your concerns. |
