Understanding this recall
What happened
Buy-Herbal is recalling Kian Pee Wan capsules, sold to consumers through an eBay third-party seller, because they contain the undeclared drug ingredients dexamethasone (a steroid) and cyproheptadine (an antihistamine).
Why it matters
Products sold as supplements or herbal remedies sometimes contain hidden drug ingredients or unapproved stimulants. People taking them can't know what dose they're getting, the ingredients can interact with other medicines, and stimulants such as DMAA have been linked to raised blood pressure and heart problems. The FDA has repeatedly warned consumers about hidden ingredients in these kinds of products. Stopping hidden steroids suddenly after long-term use can also cause problems, so talk to a doctor before stopping.

Distribution in the FDA report: Product was sold to individual consumers via ebay third party seller.
