Ephedra:

Ephedra: Ephedra is a supplement used in many diet formulations, both pills and capsules. Ephedra has been linked to heart attacks, strokes, seizures and deaths.

The FDA has repeatedly warned consumers about the dangers of Ephedra. Ephedra is also known as ephedrine an can be found in the herb known as ma huang and is similar to the drug found in the over-the-counter medicine known as pseudoephedrine.

Ephedra was banned in 2004, but recently a court has ruled that the ban was an unconstitutional infringement on trade. This court ruling will undoubtedly result in a proliferation in the drugs usage.

If you, or a loved one, have been injured as a result of taking the drug Ephedra, immediately contact a personal injury lawyer to protect your legal rights.
