FDA recalls food supplement Health product becomes dangerous when taken in large doses
Health product becomes dangerous when taken in large doses
By Melanie Matthes Kansan staff writer
An over-the-counter product that is used for treatment of insomnia and premenstrual syndrome has been recalled by the Food and Drug Administration because it is suspected to be the cause of a life-threatening blood disorder.
The product is a food supplement called L-tryptophan and is sold at many health food and drug stores, said Chris Haley, director of drug information and poison control at the University of Kansas Medical Center. The FDA recalled the supplement on Nov. 18.
"There is a virtually unequivocal link between the use of L-tryptophan and development of the disorder, and until we know exactly what's going on, we've got to protect the public." Haley said.
He said the FDA had determined that the use of L-tryptophan was strongly linked to the development of a blood disorder, oesinophilia-malayia syndrome, that can be severe or life-threatening.
The symptoms of the blood disorder are pain in the muscles and joints, swelling of the arms and legs, fever and rash, he said. It is characterized by an unusually large amount of white blood cells.
There have been two reported cases of the blood disorder at the Med Center. Haley said.
Although the FDA has pulled the product from the market, many people still have it in their homes, he said, and should discontinue its use.
The product is sold by many drug manufacturers under the name L-tryptophan, Haley said.
L-trypotophan is a naturally occurring amino acid that induces sleep and
alleviates the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, Haley said. It is found naturally in the body but becomes dangerous when taken in large doses.
He said the FDA would study the 287 case reports on the disorder that it had received since Nov. 11.
watkins Memorial Heath Center has no reported cases of the blood disorder, and the Watkins pharmacy does not carry the product, Watkins officials said.
Linda Gwalney, manager of The Community Mercantile Coop, a health food store at 700 Maine St., said that the use of L-tryptophan was fairly widespread.
"A lot of people were using it for sleep difficulties," she said. "And the National Enquirer ran horrible stories about it being a cure for depression. When those stories came out, our sales would go up."
