Composition


- Per capsule: 300 mg of cryo-ground leaves of Camellia sinensis L. (green tea).
Indications


- OVERWEIGHT]. Supplement in weight control diets to facilitate the elimination of liquids in overweight adults and adolescents over 12 years of age, with a BMI between 25 and 29.9.
Its use is based exclusively on traditional use.

Posology



- Adults and adolescents over 12 years of age, oral: 3 capsules with breakfast and 3 capsules with a meal.

- Children under 12 years of age: Safety and efficacy have not been evaluated.
Recommended for use for a period of 6-8 weeks.

Guidelines for proper administration


Take with a glass of water.

Contraindications



- Hypersensitivity to tea or any component of the medicinal product.

- Situations in which a reduced fluid intake is advisable, such as severe [CARDIAC INSUFFICIENCY] or [RENAL INSUFFICIENCY], in which the diuretic effects could aggravate the condition.

- HEPATOPATHY]. Hepatotoxicity has been reported in individuals who consumed green tea extracts. This adverse reaction has not been reported for the leaves, and seems unlikely due to the large consumption of green tea as an infusion. However, due to the absence of studies supporting its safety, it seems prudent to avoid its use in patients with liver disease such as [HEPATIC INSUFFICIENCY] or [HEPATIC CIRROSIS]. In case of unjustified and significant [TRANSAMINASE INCREASE] it would be advisable to discontinue treatment and evaluate the cause.

Precautions



- NERVOUSNESS]. Due to its caffeine content, use with caution in people with disorders such as [ANXIETY] or [INSOMNIA].

- URINARY TRACT INFECTION]. Due to its diuretic activity, it could carry micro-organisms and mask urinary tract infections. In case of symptoms such as fever, spasms, dysuria or blood in the urine, it is advisable to consult a doctor.

- PEPTIC ULCER]. Tea is a plant rich in tannins, which could produce an irritant effect on the gastric mucosa, worsening the symptoms in patients with [GASTRITIS] or peptic ulcer.

Advice to the patient



- The use of medicinal plants as an adjuvant in the treatment of overweight should be associated with a low-calorie and complete diet, controlled by a specialised health professional, as well as exercise.

- It is recommended to consult a doctor if fever, spasmodic pains or blood in the urine appear.

Special warnings



- If the patient develops fever, spastic pain or blood in the urine, a urinary tract infection should be investigated.

Interactions



- Diuretics. May potentiate the diuretic effects of other drugs such as thiazide diuretics or loop diuretics. It is advisable to avoid the association, given the risk of water-electrolyte imbalance.

Pregnancy


No adequate and well-controlled studies in humans are available. Administration is only acceptable if safer therapeutic alternatives do not exist and the benefits outweigh the possible risks. In general, pregnant women should not undergo weight loss regimens unless recommended by a doctor, and always under medical supervision.

Breastfeeding


It is not known whether it is excreted in milk, and what consequences this may have for the infant. It is recommended to discontinue or avoid breast-feeding.
