Hof identified the brand Odom purchased from thebrothel as Reload.Odom had reportedly taken cocaine and 10 tabs of pillsin the days before his hospitalization.

There have been FDA warnings about Reload, according to a report from the New York Post, which stated thattwo years agothe agency warned that Reload “contains [a] hidden drug ingredient” that could lead to dangerous reactions.
