This drug, however, is still available in Mexico, as well as several other countries, so unfortunately, those who self-medicate, for whatever reason they are doing so, can pick it up there very cheaply. In most cases, you can get away with carrying small amounts, around 3 months worth or less, of a drug into the US, without having it seized or questioned by customs.

Customs agents are not trained to keep track of which drugs are or are not legal in the US, and if someone shows them a label that looks like the med was prescribed for them, they have no way of knowing if that is true or not.

The one thing I can say about this med, is since it was outlawed in the US, then it obviously has some severe dangers involved in using it, the FDA does not pull meds off the market without good reason.

My recommendation would be to see your doctor and get something safer to use if you are concerned about losing weight.

The fact that you don't know what this med is for, or how to take them, just gives away the fact that you did not receive them from a doctor and should not be trying to use them.

I have heard that Redotex can have serious side effects. I took the pills off and on for 2 years and I went from a hefty size 14 ( 170lbs) to a petite size 6 (130lbs). I would stop taking the pills to minimize the potential dangers/harm to my body. This is a controlled substance in Mexico and needs a dr's RX in order to obtain. I am now taking phentermine (acxion) if this does not give me the results I need I will go back to Redotex, it has been a few years since I have taken it.

I'm a 32 year old male 5'-9. I was about 25-30 lbs. over weight. I don't have much time to exercise and I had a hard time losing weight by dieting. I needed something that would give me a jump start to losing 25-30 pounds. A friend told me about Redotex purchased in Tijuana Mex. I began taking it a week and a half ago and I went from 203 to 190 so far. All this talk about this drug being outlawed in the U.S is BS. Yeah maybe it's not that good for you if you abuse it like any other drug. But if you drink plenty of water and eat regular low fat meals the results are great. I think these drugs are outlawed in the U.S. because they work. The doctor's Pharmacudical company's want you to keep coming back to see them so they can make more money. Why would would they want to give you a drug that works. Of course some people abuse these type of drugs which causes other people to beleive that it's bad. There are a lot of other things that we ingest that are worse for our bodies that are legal such as liquor, tabacco, and fast food. Why aren't these things outlawed? Because they make these company's rich. Anyhow, if you repect the dosage and follow a balanced healthy diet and drink lots of water, these pills will help you get over your threshold. You may feel like you drank several cups of coffee for the first 2 days but after your get over that, you don't feel anything but a boost of energy everyday.For all of you who beleive everything the FDA says keep your comments to yourself unless your tried the drug yourself.

Oh, I forgot to mention my diet and the dosage. I take 1 pill every morning at least 15 min before breakfast. The pill does take away some of your appetite but enough to control your portions. For breakfast I eat fruit with yogurt and granola or peaches with cottage cheese or oatmeal. For lunch I eat some type of salad with chicken breast or steak or soup and for dinner I have something small like cereal. You can eat whatever you want and you'll still lose weight but it will take a lot longer if you eat foods high in fat and carbs. I haven't experienced any side effects other than a real dry mouth if I don't drink a lot of water. I don't recommend taking a pill if your going to drink alcoholic beverages that day because it will dehydrate you. I can't stress enough that you have to eat regularly and stay hydrated because then you will have side effects. I know a dozen people who have taken Redotex of and on for several years and none of them have ever been sick or had bad side effects as long as they followed the recommended dosage and the rules behind taking it. I Mexican doctor that is a freind of mine gives these to patients who wish to lose weight on the condition that they follow his instructions. If he see's someone abusing the drug he will withdraw them from it. You can't buy these pills in Tijuana without a doctors presciption. If it is sold to you by a unreputable pharmacy beware of the consequences because it may not be Redotex. This product is made by Productos Medix in Mexico City. If it is not made by this company, don't buy it. The pill has tiny encapsulated black, pink, and white balls. Oh, and try take these 4 weeks on and 1 week off if you can. You get the feel of it and they are not physically addictive. Maybe mentally because you know they work. I hope this helps those who are trying to lose weight but can't lose more than 10 lbs.

Before resorting to drugs, as all weight loss drugs pose major risks to your heart and repirations.....the ingredient in Redotox that causes the weight loss is PHENTERMINE. This drug is NOT recommended for those with hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, or those who take MAOis. Diabetics will require more insulin on this product. the suggested dose of phentermine is 15-37.5 mg once daily 30 min before bfast. other drugs containing Phentermin include Fastin, Ionamin, Obi-Nix, Phentercot, T-Diet, Teramine, Zantryl.

I'm a former competing bodybuilder and I'm familiar with the ingredients in Redotex. It contains an amphetamine, a tranquilizer, and a diuretic. The amphetamine and tranquilizer can cause you to fail a drug test, but the diuretic is what you should worry about. The diuretic is Lasix, which is the strongest and deadliest diuretic in bodybuilding. The Lasix is the reason you feel so thirsty and you have to go to the bathroom so often while using Redotex, and it's the reason for the immediate weight loss because you're just losing water. Lasix can cause your heart to suddenly stop without warning due to its ability to excrete enormous amounts of electrolytes as well as water. Heinz Salimayer and Mohammed Benaziza are just a couple of young bodybuilders that died from Lasix and they're several more. No, I don't work for the FDA or anything like that. I'm just saying that any pill that causes you to rapidly lose weight without any effort on your part is obviously not good for you.

I have been taking redotex since the last week of August. I have gone from 248 lbs to 209 lbs and gone from size 24 to 16. I watch what I eat 6 days, eat what I want one day. I take the pills 3 weeks, than take one week off. Other than a heavier but shorter period, I have not noticed any side effects. I have not added exercise to my diet program yet.

Note: I also took these same pills in 1987, when I weighed 130, I lost 18 lbs in about 2 weeks, and I got very sick. Obviously, at 130 I did not need such a strong pill to help me lose weight, this is probably the reason the pill was taken off the market. Others like me, used (abused) it.

However, now I recommend it to anyone who has alot of weight to lose.

I take it just like Dyanne has stated in her comments. I drink plenty of water and eat pretty much what I want. I try to watch what I eat in the later evening also. I drink a shake in the morning which contains bananas, apples and oatmeal and eat a good meal at lunch and usually your body tells you how much you need. You start feeling less hungry getting used to small portions instead of big portions. As Dyanne mentioned take it 3 weeks and get off 1. You will definitely start noticing the weight loss. Once you lose what you want to lose you will want to set time to do some excersice to tone up your muscles and legs. or why not start now!!! Good Luck!!

Take 1 pill before breakfast (30 min to 1 hour before) daily for 3 weeks and then give your body a rest 1 week and start again. You should do this 3 months out of the year but I have taken them like this twice a year.

I just picked up 2 bottles (60 caps ) of the regular redotex pills while in Mexico. I don’t have any medical conditions other then the fact I’ve gained over 70 lbs in a year due to poor diet and no exercise. Simply want to take these pills as a boost, I also work nights. Does anyone know what dosage they used and or has anyone used them? I know some people who have and have sworn by them. I am 33 years old 6 foot 1 and currently weight 297 lbs.

Hi! I’m a plastic surgery resident in Mexico. I just had a bad experience with a patients that was taking redotex for weight loss. I suspended it a week before surgery, we performed a mastopexy with lipoabdominoplasty, no events in it. In recovery she had visual hallucinations and a acute psychosis state with insomnia for 48hr. Several factor could trigger a delirium like her’s, but I’m specially thinking in the redotex withdrawal + anesthetics + long surgery. Please, do not take this kind of meds specially self-prescribed.
