The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers to stop using the weight-loss products “Slim Forte Slimming Capsules,” “Slim Forte Double Power Slimming Capsules,” “Slim Forte Slimming Coffee,” and “Botanical Slimming Soft Gel.” These products contain the drug ingredient sibutramine, which was removed from the market in 2010 for safety reasons and may present significant risks for those with coronary artery disease and other heart issues.
