What Are The Side Effects Of Oxy Elite Pro OR Astro Phex?
Hello! I am a 42yr. old woman, 5 6 , 130 lbs. B/P 90/60, HDL 75 and I am not on ANY medication! I exercise 5-7 days a wk., and like to take Oxy Elite Pro OR Astro Phex supplements in the am and late in the pm before I exercise for energy and endurance, which they are both great for! It also helps to bring up my blood pressure which often falls below 90/60 especially in the am.They supress my appetite, and I believe that they are also great for burning fat, or am I wrong? I can t help but to wonder if there are any health risks/dangers of taking these supplements on a daily basis.

Hi,
OxyElite Pro (OEP) is a dietary supplement to increase metabolism. It is FDA approved but has Fluoxetine, a drug in a class of drugs called selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) used for treating depression, bulimia and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder.
FDA has not approved Oxy Elite Pro OR Astro Phex for weight loss. Serious adverse effects have been reported after OEP consumption and liver dysfunction is most common. The typical presenting symptoms of it's toxicity are fatigue, nausea, and abdominal pain followed by dark urine and jaundice. It should always be taken under medical supervision.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
