# Ne oldu?

Ana Salazar Modela Tu Cuerpo Inc. has issued a nationwide voluntary recall of its dietary supplement, Lipofit Extreme Fat Burner 2.0. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall after laboratory analysis found the product to be tainted with undeclared pharmaceutical and toxic substances.

# Ayrıntılar

The recall affects all lots of Lipofit Extreme Fat Burner 2.0. FDA testing identified undeclared fluoxetine in the daytime (AM) tablets and undeclared 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) in the nighttime (PM) tablets. Fluoxetine is an FDA-approved active ingredient used to treat depression, bulimia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, its presence in a weight-loss supplement without disclosure poses risks, particularly for individuals who may be unaware they are taking an antidepressant. 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) is a toxic chemical historically used as a pesticide, dye, wood preservative, and herbicide. It is illegally marketed as a weight-loss agent and is not approved by the FDA for any human consumption. DNP is particularly dangerous because it uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, which can lead to rapid and potentially fatal increases in body temperature (hyperthermia).

# Neden önemli?

This recall is critical because both identified substances present significant health hazards. The inclusion of fluoxetine without disclosure could lead to adverse drug interactions, especially in users taking other antidepressants or medications that interact with serotonin. The presence of DNP is especially concerning due to its narrow margin between an effective dose and a lethal dose. Consumption of DNP can cause serious and potentially life-threatening adverse effects, including hyperthermia, cataracts, and death. The product is classified as an unapproved new drug, and its safety and efficacy have not been established.

# Sırada ne var?

The company has initiated a voluntary recall to remove the product from the market. Consumers in possession of Lipofit Extreme Fat Burner 2.0 are advised to stop using the product immediately and consult with a healthcare professional if they have experienced any adverse effects. The FDA continues to monitor the situation and advises the public to purchase dietary supplements with caution, ensuring they are aware of all ingredients listed on the label.
