The dietary supplement Adioptrim XT is being recalled because it contains undeclared fluoxetine, or Prozac, which is a drug that needs a doctor’s prescription. That makes the supplement an unapproved drug. Fluoxetine can cause sudden death in some patients who have heart conditions, blood clots, psychosis, and are on chemotherapy. It can also cause suicidal thinking, abnormal bleeding, and seizures. No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date.
Adipotrim XT is marketed as a natural herb dietary supplement for weight loss. The recalled product is packaged in 30 count plastic bottles labeled with lot number #052012. The product lot was sold directly to individual customers from the Deseo Rebajar Inc. offices in Fajardo, Caguas and Bayamon and through the company’s website.
