An expert warned the public yesterday against taking unlabelled slimming pills, saying they may contain thyroid hormones that can cause goiter.


Dr. Leilani Mercado-Asis, director of the Philippine Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism, said she had a patient in the past who developed goiter from taking diet pills.


"When we were talking, she admitted that she was taking ‘Bangkok pills.’ Initially, she did not want to tell me that," Asis said in an interview.
