Weight-loss supplements and the FDA Part 5 Regulators said the (adverse) events that sparked Hydroxycut's recall are "rare, but they exist." In a statement posted to its (website), the company sought to cast these reports in a (broader) context and more favorable light. Iovate called the adverse events (cited) by the FDA "a small number . . . relative to the many millions of people who have used Hydroxycut products over the years." A spokeswoman for Iovate, Jamie Moss, (stressed) that the company voluntarily recalled its products. (Iovate) may return them to the market after reformulation, she added. Unknown culprit So far, the FDA has not (identified) which of the many ingredients in Hydroxycut products, or its dosage, may have caused (dangerous) side effects. Nor has it singled out which patients may be more vulnerable to ill effects from Hydroxycut products. Since many of the (ingredients) in the Hydroxycut formulations are found widely in other dietary supplements, the culprit -- if there is one -- (may) still be on the market. So the search is on for the common (thread) that links those who have reported a sudden change in health while taking a dietary supplement marketed for weight (loss), according to FDA spokeswoman Susan Cruzan. And more patients will probably step forward to (blur) -- or clarify -- the picture: In the wake of a product warning, the FDA typically (sees) a rise in adverse-event reports, as doctors and patients make a connection between a product and a (subsequent) illness or injury.
