Diet Pill Recalls
The FDA routinely issues press releases announcing the recall of various weight loss supplements.

You can’t really know what your diet pills contain because the majority of these are classified as dietary supplements — not drugs.

Nonprescription diet pill makers have an impressive array of marketing tools at their disposal. Manufacturers behind print ads, Internet websites and infomercials may claim their product is just as effective as a prescription drug for less cost and without the hassle of getting your doctor’s approval.

The availability of prescription medications to treat erectile dysfunction in men hasn’t led to a decrease in advertisements for herbal male enhancement supplements, many of which are marketed online.

However, consumer watchdog organizations, such as the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), say they probably aren’t.

If the man in your life is eyeballing these products, you should know that not only are natural male enhancement pills unlikely to do what they claim; the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) says they could even be dangerous.
