What are the side effects of the popular diet pill FRUTA PLANTA?
I’ve already purchased a box but I am nervous due to the side effects of my friends who are currently taking it. 2 common side effects that I’ve heard are bleeding/spotting and kidney stones.
PLEASE post if you’ve had any common side effects.
Also, can men take the pill?

I see you have asked this question before and I answered. Please don’t take pills – do it the natural way. Diet and exercise
the pills are great . im losing weight really fast and eatting less. but i have been bleeding/spotting for a few days now and after i read the comment above minds i started to notice it is the pills causing this so i will stop taking them asap !.
For the first two days of taking the pills I had really(!) bad headaches. I stopped for two days and then tried once more. By that time I didn’t get them any more, otherwise I would have stopped permanently.
I have only been on the pills for 8 days and while i lost 12 lbs i have experienced mild spotting and I also now have oral thrush caused by the excessive dry mouth which i now need to go to a doctor to get a prescription for the medication because it is an antibiotic so it is not available over the counter.
I’ve been taking these for about 3 days. I haven’t expereinced any spotting, but I just started. What could the spotting be from? I’ve experienced twitching at night when I sleep. Anyone else?
Since I’ve been taking the pills, I’ve noticed a odored discharge which isn’t good. The dry mouth is a definite so drink plenty of water.
i bought a 3 months supply and have been hesitant to take them cos i hadn’t seen any information on the side effects…until now. my friend took them with great results but she didn’t mention any side effects she experienced so….now not sure whether i should take them. I am exercising and eating the right foods (most of the time) but i do need to lose the weight for health reasons. Hmmm, to take or not to take….tough one,huh? HELP!!!
i have been spotting also! I drink water to try to prevent my mouth from being so dry. The pills work very well and i have lost some weight so far but i feel as if i need to stop taking them because i feel funny sometimes! sometimes i feel weak as if i have no energy, and one time i even had a melt down for the smallest reason! The pill clearly effects everyone differently!
I have been taking it for 3 days I have headaches and dry mouth, and spotting I don’t know but I have not eating since Sunday. It works.
Men and women can take diet pills but they are a waste of money, don’t work, and some are actually bad for you with nasty side effects as your friends have found out. No pill, potion or supplement will help. Please don’t fall for all the spam adverts you see.
last month i took the pills for one week and lost about 5 pounds but i stop because i started getting bad headaches and felt a little dizzy. i also noticed a funny smell from when ever i went to urinate. not sure if i want to continue taking them even though i had weight loss results. i waould like to know if these pills cause kidney problems
I have been taking the pills for 7 months and have not experience any side effects. The only thing I can recomend is to drink a lot of water and eat a bit healthier. If you are taking the pills really early in the morning and have a good breakfast, you probably don’t feel hungry by noon. But you should still eat something healthy and drink water instead of soda any kind of soda. I have lost 50 pounds so far and I have also stop eating red meat and white rice, I only eat red meat when my parents cook Carne Asada which is grilled meat for those of you who are not hispanic. For those of you who might be Central American like myself know how it is at family get togethers, with the rice and beans, tortillas, plantains, fried cheese. Here is what I do I eat rice but instead of white I eat brown rice, instead of fried cheese, I eat non fried cheese, I skip on the fried plantains instead I have grill corn, beans are good as long as they are not over seasoned. I eat them plain boiled no salt is really not as bad as it sounds. I do work out when my work schedule allows it, I use the resistance bands, rollerblade, and walk. Most importantly I drink a lot of water, who cares if you have to go do #1 a lot whats important you are cleaning your system.
SUSIE, I JUST STARTED TAKING THIS PILLS ON 10/12/10 AND HAVE NOT LOST ANY WEIGHT OR HAD ANY SIDE EFFECTS . IM FROM CENTRAL AMERICA ALSO BUT I DO EAT VERY HEALTHY PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THESE PILLS CONTINUE WORKING FOR YOU CAUSE I WILL GIVE THEN A TRY FOR 3 MONTHS.

I am totally agree with Susie´ s comment , It does work for me, I ve been taking this wonderful pill since April 2010 and I lost 20 pounds, you have to eliminate all impurities of your body by drinking and drinking water…this pill does not have side effects if you take it early morning with breakfast!!! something else, you can lost more pounds if you reduce your amount of food, in my case, I ate the same portion all the time, and still lost pounds! Dont be afraid!
I have been taking Fruta Planta consistently for the past month. I’ve noticed several side effects ie., dry mouth, starry look in the eyes, abundance of energy, clear thoughts, insomnia, pains in my stomach, smelly stools. It all sounds very ambiguous but they are my side effects. I have hyperthroidism and I tak e synthroid. I was nervous about taking this drug because I’m not able to take anything that causes my heart to beat fast. I did manage to lose five pounds, but I stopped because I find myself eating craving a lot of carbs. I don’t know if it’s the pill or me making me eat unhealthy. I think a combination. I really think eating a healthy diet and taking this pill will give you the jumpstart and confidence you need to lose weight and keep it off.
hey! i havent started taking the pills, but i have been trying to loose weight for a while now and i have no results.i go to the gym and eat healthy and nothing..so i just wanted to know if any of you was like me before taking the pill and once u started taking it if you started to loose weight..thanks
Hi…I have been taking the pill as instructed for 4 days. I have lost 3 lbs so far. I dont have much of an appetite but I still eat small meals during the day and plenty of water. I’m happy that I’m losing but the side affects are becoming almost unbarable. I feel dizzy and weak. I had really bad headaches day 1 & 2. I get irritated easily and I’m so tired and sleepy at night but then I can’t sleep through the night. I dont want to stop because I want to lose around 40 lbs! I hope these side effects go away
Hi. Started the pill on 11-1 (weight 187). Today’s weight is 182.
On a regular, it would take me one month to lose 1 pound. I’m happy so far with my loss.
Besides the dry mouth and that is because I need to force myself to drink more water. I seem to be eating one meal a day now. I know this is not good, but it has completely taking away my appetite. I keep a food log. The pages are pretty bare. I am starting to make myself eat now.
I had the worse case of insomnia last night though. Was up from 12am watching tv and on facebook until 3am. and my alarm went off at 5am for work.
Good Luck everyone.
My mother and I both started taking the pills 11/3/2010.On Sunday i went to the emergency room with chest pains but not admitted My mother went to the emergency room today with chest pains and was admitted .I’m wondering if the pills have anything to do with the chest pains because neither one of us ever been in the hospital except for child birth .Any thoughts ?
Hey! I have been taking these pills for about 4 months now. I used to be 191 pounds and I weigh 167 now. While taking the pills, I have experienced dry mouth but other than that the pills have worked great. I think what has helped me is that I don’t the the pills every single day. I take them once every two days. On the days that I don’t take the pill, I still don’t feel extremely hungry and it allows me to use the box for two months instead of one. I have been reading that a lot of people experience weird side effects and I would say to keep up taking the pills but reduce the amount of days you take them. They definitely work and have changed my life in such a tremendous way. When I first started taking them I didn’t want to eat at all but I had to force myself. Now,that I have reduced the amount per week, I eat normal. I eat a little bit of everything and I am still losing weight. Portion control should also be taken into consideration when taking these pills. I think that, for the most part, these pills are just good at given you the extra help at starting and maintaining your weight loss plan.
I just started taking the pill yesterday.(11/20/10)I have been battling weight it seems like forever. I had my thyroid removed completely about 14 yrs ago and since then I can’t seem to loose weight effectively and consistantly. I have tried everything even the so call correct way. In a perfect world your body suppose to respond to eating the correct way, every two hrs, six or five meals a day and plenty of water. But like everything somethings work for some and not others. I have lost one pound after starting it. So its looking good. My mouth is dry but i drink alot of water. The only thing is I still want to eat. The reason I will continue this is because I work out hard 5 days a week and never loose anything, I eat often to get the six meals when normally I am good just eating twice a day sometimes once. The only time I loose weight is when I am depressed and that is because I eat alot. So that tells me that I am one of those people that have to eat alot to loose. But me personally I can’t eat like that. I think I am better at maintaining weight then trying to loose. The reason is because I stay in a range of weight for years before I gain. But this is the heaviest I have ever been. I weigh more than I did pregnant and for the na sayers people need success to stay diligent at what they are doing when it comes to trying to loose weight. Anyone, even the person who is small, if you don’t see results but all the while putting in work you will quit too. Everybody who say go the regular way with six meals, food pyramid, and exercise I will bet has never had a serious weight problem. By weight problem I mean 50 lbs or more, and I will bet that when they exercise and eat the so call correct way, they see results right away. This is what frustrates people and it will seem you guys only care about yourselves. I having been put in this predicament when I lost my thyroid gland, totally understand why people go to extreme. By the way all the bad things they say about all kinds of diets, how harmful it is and you can die, kidney, cardio, liver failure, can be true, but it is the same for the so call right way too. If you are doing it the right way and no results and you weigh to much, your heart is affected, kidney, liver, everything and yes you can die. So to everyone don’t be paranoid, always talk and see your doctor, but do what you got to do. and good luck to all.
I’ve been taking Fruta Planta since 11/04/10 today is 11/25/10 i lost 11lbs. It cut my anxiety 110% I eat sooooooo much less from what I used to. NO SPOTTING. NO HEADACHES. NO VOMITING. I have felt weak, but I’m guessing because I’m eating less. Yes sleeping has been a hassle, bcs I wake up around 3 to 4 times every night. I had a lil bit of constipation, but today I had green stool but I’m thinking is not the Fruta Planta but the Vitamins I just started taking. (well hopefully) The only thing I don’t like is that in order to know that I am hungry I get a headache, I dont get that tummy pain at all, the one that tells you is time to eat. I have not felt chest pains, nor any type of different rhythmic movements with my heart. My mouth is not extremely dry, but I do drink a lot of water, but I always have.. The only difference is that now I drink Distilled water. I like it. I keep a gallon of water next to me at all times, and I say I drink one in 2 days (but I do drink water when I go out or to a friends house or whatever) So it will be like half a gallon plus whatever I drink outside home.
Mmmm The only thing that kinda bothers me is weakness, sometimes I feel lightheaded but thats about it.
So I’ve been on the pill a little less than a month and have lost 6 pounds. I really like it and not really experiencing a lot of symptoms. I do have the dry mouth but nothing unbearable. My concern is I have not gotten my lil monthly friend. In reading others comments I see that the opposite is more common; the spotting and stuff. Has anyone else experienced the skipped mthly flo?
I have been taking this pill since 11/01 and I have lost 13 lbs. Its seem to de definitely working; however, I have started to get this rash on my stomach and on my thighs. This is the only thing that I have added to my daily life. After I sat back and thought about it, I did start itching about 2 days after I started taking itm but didnt think much about it. I have severe dry mouth and I do wake up several time of the night(if I even fall asleep). I an just wondering if anyone else has experienced and out break while taking this product.
i started the FP 2-day and it’s working bought off ebay. 2 boxes. $17.00 free ship from NY. i’m in CT so took 2 days.i feel weird a calm weird. nothing bad so far. however i was taking magic slim for 3 weeks (skipping days)and i managed to loose 10 lbs.i’ve read stomach pain followed by spotting and missing of monthly friends, well the stomach pain begain with myself followed by spotting and same with myself noooo way i could be knocked up so it concerned me. i skipped the next days dose and my friend came on (this is on magic slim) so i say when you get the pain or spotting don’t take til your friend begins to flow.then resume. all the pills are the same they contain that 1 same ingrediant.will post in 1 week good luck to all
ive been taking the pill an have not had any health problems at all.thank god..just a lil diarhea..an thats the cleansing part..so i just drank extra water…an ive lost weight too..
I died after I took these pills!!! (yeah believe it or not my hair used to be blond now I died it black….lol but seriously I shit out blood now but besides that I’m on my way to my goals of being a underwear model…
i’ve been taking them for a month now aND my hair is falling out, spotting, headaches, dry mouth, rash on my face and stomach, dizziness and irriated easily.
I’m a guy and I took thesae pills I did lose alot of weight but a few side effects which I can seem to find that others have maybe because they are mostly girls. But my side effects where I would always feel sexually active and not only that for some reason with my wife when ejaculating alot of my seman would come out first before I get to an orgasm then my sperm would follow. It was weird. But one think that was god about it is my wife said my penis looked bigger. I dont kno if its cause of the pills or because I lost alot of weight it jus looked big but she said it felt bigger too. So am not sure. But i stopped taking the pills.
I started taking these pills six days ago and have already lost 9.5 lbs! I’m really excited. I haven’t had any ill side effects yet, besides lots of energy and hyperactivity. Every one is diffrent, my friend started taking them and quit after two days because she was feeling dizzy and sick. I also make sure I keep myself hydrated througout the day and I force myself to eat every four hours, even if it’s something small…I’m hoping to lose 50 more lbs to get to my goal
I have been taking la fruta planta for three months now and I’m not sure just how much weight I have lost because I refuse to weigh myself. I started at 210 and was size 18 and now I am a size 14. I don’t care much for weighing myself because it will only drive me crazy thinking about how much I want to loose. I eat every thing that I want and I am still getting smaller in dress size. I don’t have any side effects yet I have a history of hypertension. I spouse the pill works differently for everyone. I’m really glad that this is working for me after countless failed attempts. Eventually I will get on the scale, but for now I’m just not ready to see any numbers till I am a size 10.
I was on the fruta planta for one week and i lost 6lbs. I did go through the dry mouths and also some sleepless nights but that was all the side effects that i experience. I was 136 lbs and even though i was going to the gym and eating healthy i found that it was hard to get that extra 10lbs off. I lost 8lbs in three months from working out constantly and eating right but on the fp it took one week to get 6 lbs off. I do eat less now but i also eat when i get hungary and i did stop working out 3 mths prior before getting on the pill. Since i’m almost at my goal weight, now i only take the pill every 3 days because i don’t feel as hungry.
Hi.
I bought the pills for my husbad, but I’m scare after reading the side effects. He is currently 265, and I want him to be around 210. JeanD why did you stop taking the pills, and how much you lost?
Nathalie, how is your mom doing? what the doctors said about the chest pain? does it have something to do with the pill?
Pleade advise.
I created a site with more information about Fruta Planta and side effects with videos from actual product users. Please visit Fruta Planta Side Effects
i have been taking fruta planta for about two weeks now. I lost 3 pounds in less than a week and that was the last i weigh my self. I gained almost 10 pounds in the last 6 months after i lost my job. I am a very active person i go to the gym and play sports but the weight didn’t seem to be coming off. I heard about the pills through my dad who started taking them and lost 5 lbs in one week. I have had only two side effects which are dry mouth so its important to drink a lot of water as dehydration can be fatal and i have had headaches. My mother also takes them and has had dry mouth as well as my father. I dont feel like it controls my want to eat cause i still get hungry at the normal times and i always want to snack. I do feel more tired than usual. Hopefully the pill works in helping me loose a couple more pounds so that i am able to fit in my old pants! good luck to everyone
These pills WORK. i’m always eating and always hungry. these pills suppressed my appetite to the point where i’d have to be reminded to eat. I lost 12 pounds in 6 days. I wish i could’ve continued taking it but this pill gave me rapid heart beat, palpitations, high blood pressure, dry mouth, and dizzy spells. I stopped taking them and a few days later I felt normal again but am too scared to take them again.
Also my friend was admitted to the hospital because she fainted and her potassium levels were so low from dehydration caused by these pills.
I took the pill for 3 days and I had severe chest pain. I did loose 5 lbs in those 3 days, but I also thought I was going to have a heart attact at age 37.
I was suprised at a recent physical that my Dr. found my heart rate on the high side, and blood pressure up. I was always athletic, but not as much recently…yet, still suprised. I didn’t connect the dots until I found myself forcing a small meal down and losing sleep to my worry about a racing heart, as I could actually feel it pounding. I think I’ve been on the pills about a month now and have definitely lost a few pounds,but am about to cut way back until my re-check in 3 weeks. I’m interested to see if my blood pressure and heart rate will return to normal.
I took the month supply and went from 147 to 126, no exercise at all
I’m very happy with my results & the only side effects i had was that my pee smelled weird {lol} & of course the dry mouth … The pills are great and with healthy foods and lots of water the results will definitely show … I’ve been off the pills for about 2 months now and i’ve only gained 1 lb, YOU MUST STICK TO A GOOD DIET, ABSOLUTELY NO CHEATING!
im 21 yr old 5ft and 4inches and was weighing 154 wen i first started taking fruta planta. i had heard about fruta planta thru my older sister. i bought two months supply for myself but ended up sharing the pills with my boyfriend. i started taking them september 16th and took them for about a month and a half. i didnt take them as recommended because i would forget to i was pretty much taking them 4 to six times a wk and in about a month and a half i went from 154 to 136.
the pill did dehydrate me which i figured i was peeing out all the bad toxins in my body therefore my urine smelled different. my skin cleaner up and i was feeling better. i didnt work out during this time so whatever weight i was losing, gravity pulled down. ill be back on the pills after the holidays and with exercise this time to tone up while losing weight.
Tried fruta planta for about a month and seem to have lost inches not weight. Major problem for me is that my hair started to fall out. Has anyone else had this problem?
I just started Fruta Planta yesterday, and I swear to you I feel thinner already.
I do have some side effects that agree with some of what people have been posting:
I had a meltdown yesterday, and wanted to cry all night for a tiny thing.
I’m usually a heavy sleeper, but noticed I was waking up every two hours.
I felt weak and tired all day.
Haven’t had any spotting yet, cus I just started, but I do have some unfamiliar discharge.
I will keep taking it until I reach my goal, which is not too far away.
Hope everything goes well.
Hello, I started taking fruta planta December of 2009 156 by end of January 2010 i was 138, i was a brand new woman
I have to admit its the best choice i have ever made for myself. It has been a year now since i stopped and have gained 10 pounds but of constantly eating junk food and late heavy dinners, wich totally explains.
So i started the pill now 1/11/2011. I have to say its worth it. I only had minor head-aches here and there, dry mouth and i did notice that at night i would wake up atleast twice, and thats all folks
Trust me, take fruta planta, you will love the way you look!!!
hello just wanted to say i took the pills for a few months it’s great!!!! it works i did get a few head-aches from time ti time other then that it works. i really think you need to work out so you dont lose your butt as you read the box it tells you it takes fat from arms belly and butt i lost all my butt
i lost 50 in a year and i put 10 back on i’m getting ready to start again but im really working on my butt lol the pills are great does make you eat alot less 
Just bought the pills and am starting tomorrow. My friend at work told me about this pill and I am very excited to be taking this especially that I hear that it will suppress my appetite, which is the biggest problem when dieting. I really want to take the pills and doing weight watchers or any other portion controlled diet. and definetly will exercise as well!
i took the pill for exactly one week and didnt experience any side effects. i had a few headaches, but that was it. my appetite did not change and i dont think i lost any weight. should i keep taking them and maybe i will see results??
Hi everyone, I’m 24 nd I have been taking fruta planta for about 5-6 months nd everyone will experience some type of side effect! You have to remember your body is cleaning out the toxins!!! My side effects have been mild acne, urine with a funny smell, dry mouth, weakness, rapid heart beating nd sleepless nights. But these are mostly because I don’t drink that much of anything nd I go one or two days of not eating. My family was concerned so they helped me start forcing myself to eat nd now I have been drinking more water nd juices nd eating at least twice a day. I have skipped 2-3 weeks in a row without taking fruta planta after taking it for a month or two straight. I am happy with the results nd I am still taking it. I am 5’4 started at 210 lbs wearing size 13-14 jeans (it was tight then) nd now I am at 171 lbs wearing size 9 jeans. I couldn’t be happier now I gotta buy a whole new wardrobe. What I do is wake up take the pill with a bottled water from publix (my favorite brand) I leave the bottle out closed overnight so its warm in the morning. Drink the entire bottle wait at least 30 minutes for breakfast, clean the house (so I do something active for a little) than I rest watch tv nd play games with my son. Maybe around 3-4 I would drink another bottle(cold or warm) nd have a snack (could be hot pocket, ice cream, grapes, or even pizza if im hungry) later ill drink juice or ice tea nd for dinner its either fast food (no beef), whatever my boyfriend cooks, fruit or nothing but another bottle of water while I lie in bed getting ready to sleep. I really don’t do much nd have lost 39 lbs nd starting monday I will be doing lite exercises like walking a mile or two, nd lite weights (I have 4 herniated disks in my neck, bad back, both shoulders are messed up nd has too much fluid in the ball nd sockets, I get severe migraines, I have a bad knee, bad hip, tmj for my jaw, nd a torn ligament in my foot). So if I can do this ppl with all the other problems I have going on nd be happy trust me is soooooo worth it.
Fruta Planta is NOT safe at all! I started taking it about 10 days ago because my cousin told me her 12 year old son lost 45 lbs using these pills for 5 months. The idea of losing weight so quickly and easily was so appealing that I decided on giving them a try because I thought they were natural..after all, my cousin gave them to a child! The day I took them I was so sluggish and the pill immediately knocked me out for about 2 hours. The second day, I had a temporary headache at night and was unable to sleep until 3am. I did not experience much dry mouth, perhaps because I drank enough water. The next few days, horrible things began to happen to me. My heart was racing, my chest was hurting incredibly- as if I had 300lbs sitting on me. I had painful stomach cramps that led to diarrhea and vomiting. Because of all these side effects, I started to research this “100% natural pill” and after 20 plus hours of research I have found many horrible truths. Fruta planta has sibutramine, arsenic, lead and mercury along with the fruits and plants it claims to have! I was so furious that I decided on calling a number the FDA had given me of a distributor that was recalling fruta planta. The representative told me that fruta planta is not natural, that it does have lead, arsenic (rat poison) and mercury in low quantities from the pesticides used on the “planta”. This company Prock also stated that they were unaware that all fruta planta pills whether fake or original contained sibutramine at first but now knows that each pill has sibutramine in it. When I asked her how much sibutramine each pill contained, the representative said “anywhere from 12-18.9mg” (thats double the amount that was prescribed and monitored to obese patients in the past) Sibutramine has been taken off the market in the U.S. and in numerous countries because of the damage it can do to the heart. It can increase many cardiovascular diseases and lead to stroke or heart attack. I don’t know how many deaths exactly sibutramine or fruta planta have caused but I am sure it is dangerous enough to be taken off the market. I ended up in the emergency room 2 days ago on an EKG that read 126 – and I still have chest pain. I would not advise anyone to continue taking this pill even if you do see weight loss. the 5 or 6 lbs I lost in these 10 days are not worth the side effects or rushing to a hospital because I felt like I was having a heart attack- The cardiologist said that I am not the first case she sees with high blood pressure because of these diet pills. I hope this has been informational- you can always read more about what fruta planta really contains on the FDAwebsite and also call this number 877-225-1009 with all your questions before 5pm. I left a message and someone got back to me immediately. Drink a gallon of water and flush this pill out ASAP.
Last March 2010 I started taking this pills at the end of the first week I experience dizziness and headache, so I stop and after a few days I started taking them again and about two days later I started to fell dizzy and fell a very bad head pressure which turned into a bad migrain headache that lasted from April to the end of July. I was hospiralize, to give me migrain medications, I was taking 300MG of Topiramate. And to this day I still experice headaches almost avery day. I still have to see my Neorologist every 2 months.
