Canada: Drugs in ZXT Gold weight loss caps

OTTAWA, June 29 (UPI) -- Officials at Health Canada said the weight loss product, ZXT Gold bee pollen capsules, contains hidden pharmaceutical ingredients that could be harmful.

ZXT Gold bee pollen capsules, distributed by Floyd Nutrition LLC via its Web site, www.floydnutrition.com, contain sibutramine and phenolphthalein, which may pose serious health risks, Health Canada officials said.

Canadians who have purchased or used ZXT Gold bee pollen capsules should speak to a healthcare practitioner about questions or concerns regarding the product, the officials advised. Report any suspected adverse reaction to Health Canada.

Sibutramine was previously used to treat obesity but is no longer authorized for sale in Canada because of its association with an increased risk of cardiovascular side effects such as heart attack, stroke, increased blood pressure and heart rate, dry mouth, difficulty sleeping and constipation.

Phenolphthalein was previously used as a laxative but is no longer authorized for sale in Canada because it may cause cancer, decreased blood pressure, skin rash and gastrointestinal bleeding.

"ZXT Gold bee pollen capsules are not authorized in Canada and have not been evaluated by Health Canada for safety, effectiveness and quality," Health Canada officials said.
