FDA Warns About 7-OH in Kratom: How to Detox Safely
Kratom

The FDA recently issued warning letters to several companies selling products containing 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), a powerful compound found in kratom. This announcement highlights the growing risks of kratom use — and the urgent need for safe, doctor-guided detox solutions.

At Mitchell Medical P.C., we specialize in at-home detox programs for kratom and 7-OH that are fast, safe, and private. With over 20 years of experience in addiction medicine, Dr. Mitchell — a board-certified addiction specialist — has helped patients detox and get their lives back in just 3–4 days.


What is 7-OH and Why is it Addictive?

7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is one of the most potent alkaloids in kratom and is responsible for its opioid-like effects. While kratom is often marketed as a “natural” alternative to pain relief or mood support, 7-OH can lead to physical dependence, withdrawal symptoms, and health risks that are similar to opioids.

The FDA has not approved kratom for medical use, and products containing 7-OH are often unregulated, mislabeled, or contaminated — putting users at risk of addiction and dangerous side effects.


FDA’s Warning About 7-OH in Kratom

The FDA’s recent warning stresses that:

  • Kratom products are unregulated, with unknown potency or purity
  • Companies are illegally marketing kratom for opioid withdrawal or other medical uses
  • Consumers are at risk of dependence, severe withdrawal, and serious health problems

Kratom Withdrawal Symptoms

Quitting kratom or 7-OH suddenly can trigger intense withdrawal symptoms, including:

  • Anxiety and irritability
  • Muscle aches and body pain
  • Nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps
  • Fatigue and insomnia
  • Sweating and chills
  • Strong cravings

These symptoms often lead to relapse or failed detox attempts when people try to quit kratom cold turkey or without medical guidance.
