Because you saw them on TV

May cause:

Seizures

Impaired judgment . . . motor skills

Decrease of white blood cells

Increased risk of death

And muscle spasms

Dry mouth

Constipation

Trouble passing urine

Or depression

Suicidal thoughts

Face, mouth or throat rash

Nausea  and

Trouble sleeping . . . strange dreams

Dizziness . . . fainting on standing

Slowing of your heartbeat

Small amount of heart attacks were seen in studies.

If you or a loved one suffered side effects or died after consumption of this drug, 
be sure to call your doctor . . . then your lawyer,

but you can’t say you have not been warned.
