Have You Been Injured From Ephedra Side-Effects?
Ephedra is an extract of a plant that has used in Chinese herbal medications for asthma relief for centuries. In the United States, use of the product in prescription and over-the-counter cold and asthma relief medications is highly regulated because of the serious health injuries from side-effects.
Because ephedra and ephedrine are known to stimulate the body's metabolism, the extract is often added to products marketed to boost energy and enhance athletic performance. In recent years, it has become most commonly recognized as a weight-loss aid. Unfortunately, products containing ephedra have also been linked to serious injuries and death.
The most serious health problems associated with products containing ephedra and Ephedrine include:
- Kidney stones
- Heart damage, irregular heartbeat
- High blood pressure
- Anxiety, psychosis, hallucinations
- Severe headaches, dizziness
- Tremors, seizures
