Dodgy diet pills sold online to gullible Aussies
On the weekend an Irish teenager was rushed to hospital with possible organ failure and had to have her colon removed after she took diet pills containing sibutramine to slim down for a holiday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Sibutramine which can also cause heart attacks and stroke is being marketed directly to Australians online for as little as $1.49 a pill, promising to reduce excess body weight website even suggests it could be the answer to the Australian obesity problem.
Public health expert Adjunct Professor Ken Harvey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], from LaTrobe University, pointed out that the Therapeutic Goods Administration has reams of warnings about dodgy diet pills,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but said it was impossible to stop people with a streak buying up online.
Prof Harvey warned that most of the time pills bought online from overseas were doctored with dangerous ingredients such as sibutramine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or mercury,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or contained no active ingredients at all.
basic message is never ever ever purchase drugs from the internet because there a very high probability that they be substandard, counterfeit or adulterated and that a major health concern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], adding that there were reputable Australian pharmacies online but it was important to check them out thoroughly.
can expect any national regulator to really control people behaviour if they want to purchase these things,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
don think people realise the level of problems here. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is too good to be true. The drug was hidden in coffee and chocolate products,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Prof Harvey said the other danger zone was Chinese medicines sold for erection problems,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which can also be adulterated with dangerous chemicals.
The TGA website lists dozens of weight loss products and enhancers that pose health risks, including Miraculous Evil Root and Rock Hard for Men, which are marketed as herbal but contain prescription-only products such as Viagra or Cialis.
have no active ingredients, or they have things that can do you harm. It a minefield, Prof Harvey said.

Here's the problem. You can't legislate what people will and won't do. They will simply break the law and in doing so you simply create a market for underground traffic. Recently the government banned a product that was frequently used for successful dieting, for people suffering sleeping disorders,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and for people exercising because a small percentage of those exercising took the drug to excess and caused heart problems. Now everyone is buying it online because you can't get it legally but it works and is amazing (I say this as a long time chronic sleep apnea sufferer). So, you reap what you sow - this is the underground market you created by denying consumers even the opportunity to safely and carefully use a drug with established and solid benefits.

The key to losing weight is consuming less energy while expending more through exercise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. It's an unfortunate reality that an industry worth enormous amounts of money has been built up to try and get people to believe they can pop pills and lose weight with little to no effort necessary. I do have doubts about the article's claims that some tablets bought through the Internet are doctored with lead or mercury. Who would deliberately add heavy metals to a diet pill? It's not even a cheap filler. Just add sugar or flour instead.
