Hi,

Generally considered to be safe if it does not contain ephedra. Hydroxycut is an over the counter dietary supplement claimed to be effective for weight loss however its efficacy and safety is not proved on any clinical studies. Its common side effects include lack of sleep, anxiety, nausea, increased heart beats, palpitations, and diarrhea. If it contains ephedra there is a risk of getting heart disease which may be fatal.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
