Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Adreno Lyph 160. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY UNSAFE ...when used parenterally. Use of injectable adrenal extract has been associated with at least 50 cases of serious bacterial infections at injection sites (6620). Adrenal extracts are derived from animals so there is concern about contamination with diseased animal parts. So far, there are no reports of disease transmission to humans due to use of contaminated adrenal extracts. There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of adrenal extract for its other uses.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:

General
...Orally and intravenously, adverse effects to adrenal extract seem to be rare; however, a thorough safety evaluation has not been conducted.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Intravenously: Injection site reactions.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Intravenously: Serious bacterial infections at injection sites.
Dermatologic ...Intravenously, adrenal extract can cause infection and abscess at the site of injection (6620). In 1996, the FDA issued a nationwide alert regarding an injectable adrenal cortex extract after more than 50 cases of serious bacterial infections at injection sites were reported (6620).
Other ...Adrenal extracts are derived from raw cow, pig, or sheep adrenal glands gathered from slaughterhouses and possibly from sick or diseased animals (6620). Products made from contaminated or diseased organs might present a human health hazard. There is also some concern that adrenal extracts produced from cows in countries where bovine spongiform encephalitis (BSE) has been reported might be contaminated with diseased tissue. Countries where BSE has been reported include Great Britain, France, The Netherlands, Portugal, Luxembourg, Ireland, Switzerland, Oman, Belgium, and others (1825); however, there have been no reports of BSE transfer to humans from contaminated adrenal extract products. Until more is known, tell patients to avoid these products unless country of origin can be determined. Patients should avoid products that are produced in countries where BSE has been found.
