Officials seize illegal slimming pills, warn about health impact

Dutch News  

The Dutch product safety board has seized a consignment of 8,000 illegal slimming pills which include the banned drug amphetamine. Two people were arrested in Rotterdam, including one who was picked up last year for selling illegal slimming pills. Slimming pills such as Iomax, which is not an official name, can lead to serious health issues including palpitations, chest pain, nausea, and paranoia, the NVWA said. “It would appear that people are mixing powders together at the kitchen table and filling the capsules,” NVWA spokesman Lex Benden told the paper.
