Diet Pill Recall

You may have heard about the FDA recall on certain medications including Dexatrim and Acutrim diet pills.

Apparently these medications contain an ingredient called phenylpropanolamine which has been linked to increased hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding inthe brain) among women aged 18 - 49. Stop taking these medications right away.
