FDA warns against using Reumofan dietary supplements

According to FDA, Reumofan Plus and Reumofan Plus Premium that are marketed as natural remedies for arthritis and muscle pain contain several prescription drugs.

A chemical analysis revealed that Reumofan Plus contains three drugs, including the muscle relaxant methocarbomal and the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone, that can interact with other medications, causing life-threatening side effects in some patients.

The FDA initailly warned consumers about the products in June 2012, but says complications have continued to be reported.
