Hydroxycut Liver Injuries Hydroxycut has been linked to serious, life threatening Hydroxycut side effects including liver injuries. While it is no secret that diet pills are not the healthiest choice, Hydroxycut injuries are especially scary because they can have fatal effects. In fact, one Hydroxycut user has already died from liver damage. The 19-year-old Hydroxycut user died in 2007 after using the products designed and marketed for weight loss. Although it is only one death among the millions of people who have used Hydroxycut products, Government officials believe that is one too many. And, there may be more Hydroxycut deaths that just haven't been reported. FDA Warns Against Hydroxycut Liver Damage The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced in May 2009 that they have received a total of 23 patient reports of liver injuries among Hydroxycut users since they hit the U.S. market. In an advisory letter sent out May 1, 2009, the FDA advised consumers to stop using the dangerous products. Hydroxycut Recall Based on Liver Injuries Shortly after the FDA Hydroxycut warning letter came out and disclosed the link between liver damage and Hydroxycut, Iovate Health Sciences (with the help of the FDA) recalled the majority of Hydroxycut-branded products. The recall was based on the risk of liver failure in dieters and bodybuilders who use the supplements for weight loss and energy boosts. Symptoms of Hydroxycut Liver Injuries Patients who experienced liver damage from Hydroxycut have complained about the following symptoms: - Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) - Brown, darkened urine - Excessive fatigue and weakness - Vomiting and nausea - Chronic itching - Lightened stools - Loss of appetite - Abdominal pain What to do If You Experience Such Symptoms If you have been taking a Hydroxycut weight loss product (or have taken it in the past) you must be aware of the seriousness involved with the risk of liver damage. If you begin to experience any combination of the symptoms listed above, it is a good idea to seek immediate medical attention. If you are in fact diagnosed with liver damage, you will likely be eligible to seek financial compensation for emotional, physical and financial losses.

FDA upozorava na štetnost Hydroxycuta Dijetetski proizvod povezuje se s teškim oštećenjima jetre Američka Uprava za hranu i lijekove (FDA) u petak je upozorila osobe na dijeti i 'body buildere' da prestanu uzimati Hydroxycut, dobro prodavan nadomjestak prehrani, jer ga se povezuje s teškim oštećenjima jetre i najmanje jednim smrtnim slučajem. FDA je objavio da je proizvođač tog prehrambenog nadomjestka pristao povući iz prodaje 14 proizvoda Hydroxycut, koji su se prodavali u prodavaonicama velikih trgovačkih lanaca i ljekarnama diljem SAD-a, a preko interneta i u cijelom svijetu. Hydroxycut je oglašavan kao proizvod od prirodnih sastojaka, a prošle je godine prodano najmanje devet milijuna pakiranja tih proizvoda, navela je FDA. Linda Katz, s FDA-ova odjela za hranu i dijetne nadomjestke, izjavila je da je FDA primila 23 izvješća o problemima s jetrom, uključujući smrt jednog 19-godišnjeg mladića na američkom Jugozapadu. Taj tinejdžer je umro 2007., no FDA-a je o njegovoj smrti obaviješten u ožujku ove godine, prenose TV mreže u SAD. Pacijenti su imali simptome u rasponu od žutice do otkazivanja jetre. Jednom od pacijenata presađena je jetra, a drugi je stavljen na popis za transplantaciju jetre. Pacijenti su inače bili zdravi i simptomi su im počeli s uzimanjem Hydroxycuta, navodi se u izvješćima. Kandska tvrtka Iovate Health Sciences, koja proizvodi dijetne tablete Hydroxycut, pristala je na povlačenje proizvoda iz "velikog obzira" prema korisnicima. Dijetni nadomjestci u SAD-u nisu strogo nadzirani kao lijekovi. Proizvođači ne trebaju odobrenje FDA da su njihovi proizvodi sigurni prije nego što ih puste u prodaju. No, FDA prati izvješća tržišta o uporabi proizvoda, a posljednjih su godina tvrtke pod strogim nadzorom, otkako je FDA saznao za probleme s njihovim proizvodima. (hina/metro-portal)
