A member asked:
Could taking herbal slimming pills trigger a gall stone attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What's in the pill?: Without knowing the composition of the pill, it's hard to know for sure (but i doubt it). Rapid weight loss is associated with gallstone formation, so, if the pill is very effective, it may be indirectly responsible.
