The Phytoshape again!

For few months already many have discussed the Phyto Shape, including many friends and people we know.
Many ladies commented that the Phyto Shape helps to loose weight and in fact many did loose weight - 4 to 5 kg monthly. If the news has been purposely spread to bust the sales of the Phyto Shape or the products proves results, it is hard to establish.
The price at the pharmacies was AED 265 until yesterday. It is not sure if the product is available today or already all the stocks were withdrawn from the market.
A little bit is written on the Internet about it and few sites discuss the ingredients along with the site effects of the Phyto Shape. Maybe they are promotional, maybe not.
From what is written on the Internet we all have been led to think that the Phyto Shape is the next slimming miracle and will make many slimmer and more attractive. We found some sites that are recommending the Phyto Shape as a Fruit Extract and natural product. The Ministry of Health in UAE found otherwise.
Yesterday, 24th of April, in one of the daily newspaper Khallej Times was published the following:
"Herbal drug to be withdrawn
The Ministry of Health (MoH) has decided to withdraw a slimming food supplement from the local market, for containing chemical substances that are harmful to human health.
Phyto Shape capsules, which are marketed as a herbal product for losing weight, will be withdrawn from the market to avert serious health risks that might result from taking the capsules,” said Humaid Mohammed Al Shamsi, Assistant Under-Secretary for Pharmacy and Supplies. "

Hello Everybody,

this reads disturbing. Maybe some one should enquire directly with the Ministry of Health. Very surprising that this announcement comes only after the article for supplements control. Apparently those issues are connected. I google it, but still not much was written on the Internet. At least no one says it's harmful or dangerous. Maybe it's early to panic. And besides, no one really complained yet. Every body lost weight and were happy until now. So, shortly: don't panic!

unbelievable!!!!! I am sure that there is no way no one to have complained for so long time; that's some scam; most probably some one have passed wrong info to the newspaper...all those trolls cruising the Internet...yuk

Hello Ladies,

I wrote "Ladies" as I suppose most of the interested in Phyto Shape are ladies.
The best way to find out if the Phyto Shape has really been banned from UAE markets, is to contact the Ministry of Health and enquire. If some one receives some useful correct information, please let us know.

Wish you all a good day!

I called the Ministry of Health, but they said to call back on Sunday. So I guess, we have to wait during the weekend. Maybe won't be bad to stop taking the phyto-shape for 2-3 days until something comes out.........;-(((((

Hi Everyone ,

Maybe no one complained but the side effects mostly appear after years , yes phytoshape is dangerous as it is banned in france and london because it contains a chemical called sibutramine 45g which is very dangerous to the health and phytoshape was called riductine ..
however it is not our mistake its the mistake of the ministry of health in the gulf as they never research on a product before approving of it .

Hi,

I know my comment is very late, but I was searching for Phyto shape when I read your report.

I'm one of those who used this medication, & yes it's true that it helped me to lose weigh, but it also made me lose lots of other things as well (appetite, sleep, positive energy, & few other things as well...) but for those who still feel they should take it, they have to know that Phyto Shape won't keep on helping them to lose weigh for long; at a certain stage, it won't be able to do anything except to cause disorder in the body system.

Well, I wrote the above based on personal experience, but the main reason for commenting is to thank Ministry of Health in UAE for collecting this medicine from the Pharmacies & to let them know that people are still able to buy it from some Pharmacies (Through Contacts for more than 265 Dhs, not to forget that some forces a minimum number of boxes) because, as per some Pharmacies, the dealer still has stocks & he sells only through them but with specific quantity order...

On the other hand, I would recommend to search people's luggage at the airports, entering the UAE; if UAE forbid this medication doesn't mean all the other countries did... And sorry to say this, but Phytoshape is still entering the UAE market through these people!!!

Good Luck
