Hydroxycut is a weight loss supplement, which is supposed to help people lose weight. It is not a prescription drug, but is something that even a child could buy over the counter. Many of its ingredients are rather benign, such as caffeine and green tea. Its efficacy has been questioned by a number of people and its ad campaigns have been called misleading. However, Hydroxycut side effects are more disturbing than its purported lack of efficacy.

In 2009, after the FDA had issued a warning about the risks of liver damage, Hydroxycut recalled its products, and then placed apparently ‘modified’ versions back on the market. The reason why Hydroycut products are dangerous is for much the same reason as the osteoporosis drug Crestor. Hydroxycut has been known to cause Rhabdomyolysis, in which muscle tissue breaks down and enters into the blood stream. This disease is destroys muscles and is often fatal. This disease can actually cause severe liver damage as well.

A number of cases of severe liver damage have been reported to the FDA, and these reports led to the recall.
