Huo Li Bao and HB Lite capsules unsafe to use.

PUTRAJAYA: All medical practitioners are advised not to use Huo Li Bao and HB Lite capsules found unsafe for use, Health director-general Dr Hasan Abdul Rahman said Tuesday.

On another matter, he said two capsules touted as health products - Huo Li Bao and HB Lite - have been withdrawn from the market as they were found to be unsafe for use.


He said they were withdrawn on Sept 26 after they were found to contain additives prohibited from use in traditional products.

Dr Hasan said people who have been using these products should stop doing so immediately and seek the advice of a health professional.

"Anyone holding stocks of these products is advised to immediately stop their sale, distribution and use as they are liable to prosecution under the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984," he added. - Bernama
