Question: I saw some information on a product called Redotex online. This product is one of those so-called “Mexican diet pills” and supposedly a magical pill. Is it safe to use? Does it really work? Do you recommend it?

Answer: After researching Redotex, there have been reports that Mexican Diccionario de Especialidades Farmaceuticas (Mexican equivalent
to PDR) found amphetamines and the tranquilizer Valium and diuretic Lasix in the diet pill Redotex. Customers purchasing these pills are playing Russian roulette with their health since the pills contain potentially harmful ingredients.

Redotex contains amphetamines and tranquilizers in it's formula. The FDA is trying to prohibit the sale of diet pills that contain amphetamines and tranquilizers. The FDA is having problems stopping the influx of these dangerous supplements into the United States. The largest amount was coming from Venezuela but that many pills also came from Colombia and Brazil. They may be getting through by being mislabeled as vitamins. For consumers, accidentally taking a counterfeit pill that contains illegal drugs has serious consequences. In some cases it has led to positive drug tests at work. In other instances, it caused physical problems such as yellow skin and swelling of the face. In extreme cases, however, amphetamines can be very dangerous for people with heart problems since they cause blood pressure to increase. Buyer Beware of Redotex!

If you do shop for a weight loss product in a health store, pharmacy or on the Internet, you'll often find hundreds of different brands containing a confusing array of ingredients. You may be tempted to experiment with different diet aids until you find one that works. But this approach may be expensive. Karen Austin, a respected nutritional writer from Med Health Reports did a fantastic review on diet pills and their actual effectiveness in a recent feature, the results are quite surprising.
