Hi,

Because of safety concerns FDA has banned this diet pill. Oxy elite contains anti-depressant fluoxetine (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor).

Taken in larger doses it may cause serious side effects such as sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, suicidal thoughts seizures, and serotonin syndrome.

Serotonin syndrome can be a life-threatening condition characterized by delirium, hypertension, tachycardia, sweating, & tremors.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
