Health alerts on fake weight loss product containing hidden drugs
The Ministry of Public Health in Qatar has issued a warning about the slimming product "Eatless – Natural Slimming Formula" after analysis confirmed that it contains two undisclosed pharmaceutical substances: sibutramine and phenolphthalein. The product is counterfeit and unlicensed, posing a health risk, especially since sibutramine is associated with increased blood pressure and a higher heart rate, and was previously withdrawn from the market in 2010 for safety reasons. Additionally, phenolphthalein indicates potential risks, including an increased chance of developing cancer. The Ministry urged the public not to purchase or circulate unlicensed products and confirmed that legal measures will be taken against those who import or sell these products, in order to protect community safety.
