- Nine Slim
- Seven Slim
- Botanical Slimming (Red)
Oxy ELITE Pro Super Thermogenic (Lot# 216732, exp. date 04/17) and Botanical Slimming (Red) were found to contain fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) approved to treat depression, bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorders, panic disorder, and premenstrual dysphonic disorder. SSRIs have been linked to serious adverse effects such as suicidal thinking, abnormal bleeding, and seizures. Ventricular arrhythmia or sudden death can occur in patients taking concomitant aspirin, ibuprofen, antidepressants, and other drugs.
