How safe is it to take weight loss pills?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
