# Major Recall Alert: Dietary Supplement Capsules Marketed for Weight Gain and Appetite Stimulation Recalled Due to Device & Drug Safety/Unapproved Drug
A significant recall has been issued for **Kian Pee Wan dietary supplement capsules**, which were marketed as a treatment for weight gain and appetite stimulation. The recall, announced by Aphreseller (eBay seller ID) on March 30, 2026, affects all products sold to consumers nationwide. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found the capsules contain two undeclared prescription drug ingredients: **dexamethasone** and **cyproheptadine**, making them an unapproved drug. Read on to understand why this recall is critical, the potential risks, and what actions you should take to protect your health.
## Why This Recall is Important
The recall of **Kian Pee Wan capsules** is not just another product safety issue; it involves serious health risks. These dietary supplements were marketed as a natural remedy for weight gain and appetite stimulation. However, the presence of **dexamethasone**, a corticosteroid, and **cyproheptadine**, a prescription antihistamine, poses significant dangers:
- **Dexamethasone Risks**:
- Suppresses immune function, increasing infection risks
- Can lead to high blood sugar, muscle injuries, psychiatric issues, and cardiovascular events
- Prolonged use may suppress adrenal gland function, leading to potentially fatal outcomes
- Abrupt discontinuation of corticosteroids can cause withdrawal symptoms
- **Cyproheptadine Risks**:
- Known to cause sedation, dizziness, nausea, and blurred vision
- Could lead to more severe side effects like urinary retention and bowel issues
These medications are not approved for inclusion in dietary supplements. Consuming supplements with these hidden ingredients puts consumers at risk of harm, especially those unaware of the product’s true contents.
## Details of the Recall
The Kian Pee Wan dietary supplement capsules were:
- **Packaged**: In a white bottle with a beige label containing 30 pills
- **Sold Nationwide**: Primarily through eBay (under seller “Aphreseller”) and Buy-herbal.com
- **Reason for Recall**: Undeclared presence of dexamethasone and cyproheptadine, making the product an unapproved drug
- **Initiated By**: Aphreseller (eBay seller ID), as well as notification to the FDA
Aphreseller is contacting customers through email and public notices about the recall. Consumers who bought the capsules are urged to stop use immediately and return them for a refund.
