Company announcement

Aphreseller (Buy-herbal.com) is recalling all lots of Kian Pee Wan capsules due to the presence of undeclared dexamethasone and cyproheptadine.

The product was distributed nationwide online via eBay.com.

The recall was initiated in Flushing, New York.

No deaths or injuries were reported.

Risk:

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid commonly used to treat inflammatory conditions. Corticosteroid use can impair a person’s ability to fight infections and can cause high blood sugar levels, muscle injuries, psychiatric problems, and lead to cardiovascular events. When corticosteroids are taken for a prolonged period, or at high doses, they can suppress the adrenal gland (a disorder in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones) and adverse consequences can range from limited adverse consequences to death. Additionally, abrupt discontinuation can cause withdrawal symptoms. Cyproheptadine is a prescription antihistamine used for seasonal allergy treatment. Consumption of undeclared cyproheptadine may cause sedation, dizziness, fatigue, restlessness, dry mouth, nausea, diarrhea/constipation, urinary retention, blurred vision.

Impacted states: Nationwide
