Diclofenac is an NSAID that can irritate the gastrointestinal tract linings and thin your blood. Dexamethasone is a powerful corticosteroid.  Methocarbamol is a skeletal muscle relaxant that can impair your thinking and reaction times. If you are taking this supplement, consult with your medical team for a safe withdrawal strategy as stopping steroids suddenly can be dangerous.  For more information, call C&A Naturistics at 1-619-498-9811 or reach them by email at naturisticsca@gmail.com. https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/ca-naturistics-issues-voluntary-nationwide-recall-ak-forte-tablets-con-ortiga-y-omega-3-due-presence #AKForte #supplement #diclofenac #dexamethasone #methocarbamol #recall
