Used Ephedra?

Our DC and Boston Injury Lawyers Hold Drug Companies Responsible for Your Injuries

Ephedra is an herbal supplement that has been included in many diet pills during the last several years. Although herbs are not under the jurisdiction of the FDA—and therefore cannot be removed entirely from the market—the FDA has issued warnings about the dangers of ephedra. Ephedra is often presented under alternate names such as ephedrine, ma huang, epitonin and pseudo ephedrine. In fact, many Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., area victims of ephedra did not contact attorneys for quite some time, simply because they did not know they were taking ephedra. These individuals should contact a qualified Boston or Washington DC injury lawyer now.

Dangers of Ephedra

The FDA issued the warning against ephedra after taking into consideration studies showing that ephedra use raises blood pressure and significantly stresses the circulatory system. Ephedra has been linked to a number of serious health problems, including heart attack, stroke, hepatitis and seizures. Unfortunately, many ephedra users were unaware of its dangers.
