A member asked:

Can i take saffron extract while i am on methimazole to help me maintain my weight ? pls help

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but why?: Methimazole can control your hyperthyroidism, but saffron extract won't do anything but thin your wallet. Why take something that won't do any good and you don't really know what's in it? Don't get your health info from friends, tv or the internet.
