THE SIMPLE FACTSTM...Hydroxycut is a dietary supplement with ingredients used for weight-loss, fat burners, energy-enhancers, low carb diet aids, and for water loss. Hydroxycut is marketed under the Iovate Health Sciences, Inc. and MuscleTech brand names.
Apparently, some of the latest reviews - by the FDA and others - of Hydroxycut products are associated with possible long term side effects such as rhabdomyolysis (muscle damage which is indicated by the level of CK, CK-MB or creatine kinase in the blood) and a number of serious liver injuries and damage. Iovate has agreed to recall Hydroxycut products from the market.
FDA ACTION
According to the latest reports and reviews, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received 23 reports of side effects such as adverse liver effects or damage in users of Hydroxycut products, including:
- asymptomatic hyperbilirubinemia
The FDA recommends that you should stop using Hydroxycut immediately.
MEDICAL STUDIES/REPORTS
In addition, a recent case study - published January 2009 - on Pub Med outlined a possible connection with rhabdomyolysis and the use of Hydroxycut (creatine kinase (CK) concentration was 13,220 IU/L with elevated serum creatinine (SCr), aspartate transaminase, alanine ansaminase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase).
If you were using or are using Hydroxycut that was part of the 2009 recall, and have developed one or more of the above referenced side effects or health problems, please consult a physician immediately.

Quite frankly, the simple factsTM about Hydroxycut and the possible side effects or injuries (liver damage) that may be caused by using Hydroxycut are unacceptable.
If you have used a Hydroxycut product and are suffering side effects or problems - liver damage, rhabdomyolysis, you may have a case/lawsuit and be entitled to compensation.
In addition, an MDL has been setup in the Southern District of California for Hydroxycut Marketing and Sales Products Liability Litigation (IN RE: Hydroxycut Marketing and Sales Products Products Liability Litigation No. 2087).
