Dangerous Weight Loss Drug Pulled From Market

A very dangerous weight loss supplement called Que She was recently pulled from the market by the Food and Drug Adminstration, and for good reason. It contains various prescription medications, including one of the two drugs in the Fen-Phen combo that was outlawed in 1997.

This particular drug created a lot of heart problems for those taking it, in particular, issues with damage to the valves of the heart. When the one-way heart valves are damaged, blood can back up and leak back into the heart, making it harder for circulation to proceed normally. This is the cause of what many people refer to as a "heart murmur". A lot of people ended up having these kinds of problems from taking this weight loss medication, and as a result, Fen-Phen was pulled from the market and a whole lot of lawsuit began to fly.

There were several other prescription medications found in Que She, all of which have the potential to create or worsen various cardiovascular conditions.

The most important thing to take away from this is to recognize that short cuts just don't work with weight loss. The only true way to lose weight and get fit is to fix your diet and get the right kind of exercise.

That can be difficult, but you do have resources to help you. Here at Triune, we recently brough on board an excellent personal trainer named Ann Gruber. Ann is a fitness competitor with ten years of experience in the fitness industry. She offers one free training session to Triune members, so ask us about it on your next visit and give her a try!

But skip the crazy, dangerous supplements!
