In recent years, ephedra products have been extensively promoted for aiding weight control and boosting sports performance and energy. The drug has been around for years, but only recently have some forms proven to be harmful.

Data shows little evidence of ephedra’s effectiveness except for short-term weight loss, but confirm that Ephedra side effects can include raising blood pressure and otherwise stresses the circulatory system. These reactions have been conclusively linked to significant adverse health outcomes, including heart ailments and strokes, which may result in many Ephedra lawsuits.

In February 2004, the FDA issued a statement that prohibited companies from selling products containing ephedra because the drug presented an unreasonable risk to public health.
