Fatal poisoning by dietary supplements accompanied by massive rhabdomyolysis and multiple organ failure.
Obesity epidemic and prevailing standards of desired body shape encourage society to use weight loss aids. Thermogenics, which are dietary supplements aimed at increasing energy expenditure, are particularly gaining popularity. These preparations can be easily purchased without prescription and have a complex composition, which means they can interact with numerous substances. The article describes the case of a 31-year-old female patient who, in a suicide attempt, ingested significant amounts of the dietary supplements 'Blue Magic' and 'Purim'. Both supplements contain, among other ingredients: caffeine, yohimbine, reserpine, and synephrine. The patient developed multiple organ failure, which led to her death on the second day of hospitalization. Poisoning by dietary supplements, due to their diverse composition and the lack of correlation between the content and the composition declared by the manufacturer, can pose a significant threat to the health and life of consumers.
