Here is what I could find on Redotex doing a quick search. It is a pretty interesting concoction. I took this from an FDA Alert out of Dallas: ( http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cms_ia...alert_185.html )
The primary drug associated with the diet regimen is called Redotex, manufactured by Medix, a Mexican pharmaceutical company. According to the Mexican Diccionario de Especialidades Farmaceuticas (Mexican equivalent to PDR) each capsule of Redotex consists of the following:
English Translation (Spanish)
o Tri iodothyronine (Triyodotironina) 75 mcg. A hormone used to increase the metabolic rate of tissues.
o Norpseudoephedrine (Clorhidrato de D Norseudoefedrina) 50 mg. An amphetamine like drug.
o Atropine sulfate (Sulfato de Atropina) 0.36 mg. Used as a respiratory and circulatory stimulant.
o Aloin (Aloina) 16.2 mg. Laxative.
o Diazepam (Diacepam) 8 mg. A depressant (Valium).
Other drugs associated or used in conjunction with Redotex include:
1) Ponderex 40 (Clorhidrato de Fenfluramina) 40 mg. Manufactured by A.H. Robbins de Mexico
2) Moduretic Manufactured by Merck Sharp and Dome de Mexico.
3) Asenlix (Clorhidrato de Clobenzorex) 30 mg. Manufactured by Grupo Russellsa Mexican Pharmaceutical Co.
4) Ionamin (Complijo de Resina de Fentermina) (equivalente a 30 mg. de fenil ter butiliamina) 142 mg., manufactured by Pennwalt Labs de Mexico.
5) Fluddro Furosemide
The products normally given to patients consist of Redotex and product number 1 and number 2 listed above. Products 3 and 4 listed above have been reported to be substituted for Redotex in some instances. Newspaper accounts have also reported the occassional use of product.
A health hazard evaluation by CDB of the product Redotex has revealed that the use of Redotex poses a health hazard, especially when taken without adequate medical supervision. The irrational combination of these thyroid, diurectic, stimulant and tranquilizer drugs may cause serious and potentially fatal adverse reactions. These would include alteration of metabolic rate, increased heart rate, lowering or increasing of blood pressure, loss of body electrolytes by diuretic action, as well as confusion and hallucinatory states.
