Abdominal Pain from Hydroxycut
The liver is a very important organ, responsible for filtering waste products out of the blood, storing vitamins, and producing important proteins. When a person's liver is damaged by illness or exposure to toxins, he or she can experience many painful and dangerous consequences. For example, abdominal pain – particularly in the upper right part of the stomach – is a frequent complaint among people with some kind of liver damage.
In May 2009, the Food and Drug Administration issued a recall of the popular weight loss supplement Hydroxycut, claiming it has been linked to liver problems. Anyone using Hydroxycut needs to stop and contact a doctor if they are experiencing abdominal pain or other problems. They could be symptoms of a dangerous liver problem needing treatment.
If you or a loved one has been hurt by Hydroxycut use, you could have grounds for legal action. To learn more, contact Hydroxycut and abdominal pain lawyers Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187.

- The pain is very sharp or uncomfortable
- You have recently used Hydroxycut
