Making It A Lifestyle is recalling all lots of 3rd Degree, Black Gold X Advanced and Black Label X capsule because they contain undeclared sibutramine and sildenafil. Those ingredients make these products an unapproved new drug. No adverse events have been reported to date.
Sibutramine is in 3rd Degree and Black Gold X Advanced. This is a controlled substance that was removed from the market in 2010 because it substantially increases blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and could pose a risk for anyone with heart disease or a history of stroke, congestive heart failure, or arrhythmia. This product can also interact, in life-threatening ways, with any other medications.
Black Label X contains sildenafil, the active ingredient in the prescription drug Viagra. This ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.
All of these products are marketed as weight loss supplements. They are packaged in white plastic bottles containing 60 capsules per bottle. They were distributed nationwide via the internet from February 2015 to April 27, 2016.
If you purchased any of these products, stop using them immediately. Throw them away in a sealed container, or, preferably, drop them off at a drug dropoff point (call your local police department to find a venue), or return them for a refund.
