The dietary supplement named Dexatrim was initially provided to the American markets as a means of controlling obesity, appetite suppressant, and overall general weight loss assistance. Since its inception, the formula and drugs used to create Dexatrim have changed, and in the past, the drug contained substances now actually banned, including ephedra and portions of the Phen Fen drug. The general consensus of medical professionals is that Dexatrim is not only ineffective as a weight loss drug, but also, the drug is known to contain PPA. In addition, Dexatrim potentially can result in lethal consequences for users when combined with other common medications.
