Sibutramine is an appetite suppressant that was withdrawn from the U.S. market in October 2010.

This undeclared ingredient makes these products unapproved new drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established. These products may also interact in life-threatening ways with other medications a consumer may be taking.
