Question 1

is hydroxicut safe?  are any weight loss pills safe to take with ibs (c)?  would any of those pills raise liver enzymes? hurt the liver, other?

Accepted Answer

We can't endorse: these weight loss or convenience meds, as there are potential side effects that you must discuss with your doctor, especially if you have IBS. Your diet is going to be paramount for your wellbeing and state of health. So, work on a plan with your PCP to investigate what is causing your IBS (possible food allergies causing local inflammation.) Stay away from GMO's, sugars, wheat, corn, dairy impt!

Question 2

are weight loss pills safe to take?

Accepted Answer

Yes but monitor: All medications have side effects and many people can tolerate certain medications.  Nevertheless, if you can tolerate the meds in the short term, there is no evidence of long term problems.  That includes stimulant medication which has been found to have no effect on blood pressure and minimal effects on heart rate in persons who can take them,  there are no reports of addiction with phentermine.

Question 3

how safe is it to take weight loss pills?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Weight loss pills do not work.  At best they might help a very short-term weight loss, but are full of potential annoying, dangerous, or life-threatening side effects interactions.  There've never been proven to help sustain weight loss and i recommend avoiding them.

Question 4

is it dangerous to take green coffee bean extract with "30 day diet" brand weight loss pills? i'm losing weight on it, but wondering if this is safe.

Accepted Answer

No, but it makes: No sense to take either -- as neither one has any proven clinical value. The only thing that will shrink is your wallet, plus who knowns what's in the pills or how they could potentially harm you. Don't get your medical information from tv, friends ir internet scam sites.

Question 5

is it safe to take weight loss pills with my medications?

Accepted Answer

Most likely not: When taking medication of any kind, you should discuss this directly with the doctor who is in charge of your care. It would not be a good idea to use any over the counter weight loss supplements or herbal pills. Diet and exercise are still the answer for almost everyone, and improve things like depression, ADHD, IBS, and many issues. There is a type of exercise for everyone. Bet wishes!

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Temporary with risks: Weight loss pills are a short term solution with risks.  There are multiple types of pills - ones that suppress appetite, ones that block absorption of foods into body.

Question 7

how exactly do weight loss pills work?

There are various types and i recommend you ask your physician prior to taking one.

Accepted Answer

Weight loss pills: People come in different sizes, shapes, heights, weights, colors, genetic background, diet, exercise habits, metabolic rates, have different jobs, ages, sexes...
