Medical matter
Sweden blocked a batch of supplements containing asthma drug ephedrine.
Ephedrine is used the relieve shortness of breath and acts as a decongestant and bronchodilator.
However, the ingredient has also been touted online as a fat burner.
Back in 2011 the Danish Medicines Agency (DKMA) campaigned against illegal weight loss products containing banned substances like ephedrine.
Common side effects include insomnia, anxiety, headaches, hallucinations, high blood pressure, palpitations and loss of appetite.
The blocked supplements were coming from the US via the Netherlands.
