ABSTRACT
This document presents a medical concern such as iatrogenic Cushing syndrome associated
with the consumption of herbal supplements, which secretly have in their
formula steroids of the dexamethasone type, a situation that is not commented on and
that leads to various alterations against the health of consumers of these supplements.
We also call on the authorities and health professionals to keep a watch on these cases
and report them promptly to the health authorities.
