Announcement: UMary is not available for sale in the US at this time. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did a content analysis on UMary and found the following: FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Umary contains diclofenac and omeprazole, which are not listed on the product label.
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (commonly referred to as NSAIDs). NSAIDs may cause increased risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, as well as serious gastrointestinal damage, including bleeding, ulceration, and fatal perforation of the stomach and intestines. This hidden drug ingredient may also interact with other medications and significantly increase the risk of adverse events, particularly when consumers use multiple NSAID-containing products.
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (commonly referred to as PPI) used to treat gastric (stomach) acid-related disorders. PPI medicines may cause serious skin reactions, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and headache. This hidden ingredient may mask stomach issues such as erosions, ulcers, and stomach cancer, and it can also interact with other medications and should not be taken with certain medications.
I have since been in contact with the laboratory that manufactures UMary and was informed that they are actively seeking certification of their facility by the FDA. That process can take 3 months or more. At that point, they will apply for approval of UMary for sale in the US. There are no guarantees that this will happen, but I will continuously monitor the situation on behalf of my UMary customers. I do communicate with the production laboratory and with the US master distributor and will continue to do so, knowing how valuable this product was to a substantial number of customers.
I am very sorry that some medical professionals were telling you that the product contained steroids in the absence of any verifiable proof. That creates a significant credibility issue with these medical providers. I promise you that I will keep you informed of any and all changes in the status of UMary. My apologies for this very sad turn of events.
