An arthritis medicine touted by the manufacturer as being comprised of medicinal herbs and plant extracts is found to have hidden and potentially harmful ingredients, including diclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and dexamethasone, a corticosteroid.

The hidden ingredients found in Himalayan Pain Relief Tea, among others, came to light in a new U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigation.
