xenical ## ## Has anybody else had "oily" discharge during a bowel movement? i'm thinking that it's the fat being taken out of the food i eat. I see it listed as a possible side effect but it's really a bit more than I was expecting. Plus I'm not eating too much fat in my opinion. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Also, what is the best brand name of this?? I remember back in the day it was prescription only but now there is over the counter versions too.

hi am 33 year male i was diagnosed to have diabetes 1 year back and i was started on insulin and changed to galvus met 50/850 mg recently and am not obese and am keep loosing weight can you please suggest whether this is right drug for me and how to moitor these side effects ## Hello, Benty! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. How much weight have you lost? Is it causing you to be underweight, or are you still staying at a healthy weight? And how much fluid do you drink each day? The medication can increase urinary output, so you might not be taking in enough water. ## Hi there I am not diabetic but need to lose 10kg and my doctor has prescribed Galvus Met 50mg/850. Is this a safe drug to take for weight loss

All of us know that Orlistat prevents absorption of fat and helps in obesity management through its positive energy balance. As lifestyles change, every day people often like to go out for a weekend party, whether it may be a birthday, marriage, anniversary, job, promotion, success, etc.. But without any junk food is it possible to enjoy a party? So why not take Orlistat and enjoy it as much as possible? Is it safe to consume fatty foods while on Orlistat? ## For best results it really should be taken on a regular basis. And, if taken when you are consuming such large amounts of fatty foods, it is going to seriously aggravate the side effect of loose/greasy stool, which could result in some embarrassing situations. You are actually supposed to avoid eating like that, when using it. Read...

Looking for small blue weight loss pill from South Korea. Been trying to get it refilled but doctor in USA not familar with it ## Hi Marie, Do you happen to know the name of the medication that was prescribed to you in Korea? As long as the language on the script could be translated into English, I don't see why a doctor wouldn't be able to distinguish what the active ingredients are and determine their availability here in the US. The most common weight loss drug that I'm aware of here in the US goes by the name of Phentermine. My opinion is if you can't get a doctor to understand the script, then opting for something that's more commonly recognized, such as Phentermine, may be a more feasible route to go; that way you don't run into anymore problems with gettin...

Usually, sarcoidosis is just treated with anti-inflammatories, unless someone has a very severe form of it, which could be life-threatening, in such cases, they may need to be treated with steroids and/or chemotherapy drugs. Have you been diagnosed with it? It generally causes very vague symptoms and is only diagnosed by accident, in many people, they may experience fatigue, lack of energy, weight loss and joint aches. ## Hello my name is claudette, I have being battle scaridois for the last 15 years. Is there any natural remedy we can use? Thank you.

Does this pill (phentermine 37.5 mg. LCI 1445) require a prescription? ## Hello, Rubi! How are you? Yes, in the U.S. Phentermine does require a prescription, due to the fact that it is a stimulant and should only be used with a doctor's approval under their supervision. Taking it improperly, or taking it when someone suffers certain medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, could put someone's life in danger. The FDA also warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, anorexia and insomnia. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can I take the Belviq before bedtime will it affect my sleep? ## Hi Kelly, From what I've researched, the manufacturer's dosing instructions that are listed in the Prescribing Information, state that you're supposed to take one 10mg tablet twice daily. It doesn't specify if any of the doses are best taken at night or during the day. However, if I were to adhere to these instructions, it would make sense to take one in the morning hours and one in the afternoon or evening hours in order to spread out its effects throughout the day; unless instructed to do otherwise by your doctor. Not being a patient, I don't know if Belviq has a stimulating effect, but if it does, that would probably be best determined in the morning dose so that you can get a feel for how it works e...

I found a round peach pill with a k then a line threw the middle, then the number 40 on one side and nothing on the other side. ## Hello, Blue! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by KVK Tech and they list it as containing 50mgs of Benzphetamine. The FDA classifies this medication as being an anorexiant and CNS stimulant that is used as an appetite suppressant. Typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, weight loss, insomnia, nervousness and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

How are you? Most people do eventually hit a plateau, where weight loss seems to level off and slow down, so that might be what's happened to you. As to feeling hungry, have you changed anything else, such as your diet or activity levels? The typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia and anorexia. How often do you eat meals?

i have heomoglobin deficiency so i take sangobion but somebody have told me that it makes a person fat.is it correct? ## i want to know if the Sangobian make me fat if i will take that vitamins? what are some side effects about that vitamins. advantages and disadvantage? ## Hi, Nayna and Faith, how are you both? No, a nutritional supplement is not going to make you fat. If someone is underweight, due to a deficiency in one or more of the nutrients it contains, they may gain some weight upon rectifying that problem, but it will not make them gain so much that they are overweight. There's nothing to worry about. The advantages are better health if you don't take in enough of these nutrients on your own, the disadvantages are the it can cause some nausea in some people when they ta...

My Dr.has me on 1mg. Xanax 3 times a day but I only take it at night religiously. I've taken 1 during the day around 4 times during the whole year. Sincerely, Shirley ## Hi Shirley, According to umm.edu's drug interaction checker, there are no interactions found between Adipex-P (Phentermine) and Xanax (Alprazolam). I cross referenced this on other webpages as well, which led to the same conclusion. Based off this, my opinion is that you should be fine taking the two together. However it's always best to double check with your doctor before taking anything extra that he/she may have not prescribed or recommended as a part of your regimen. I hope this helps!

Have taken 37.5 mg before, this time taking 30 mg not satisfied! Can I take 1 tab twice a day ? ## Hi Dawn, Sorry to hear about this lower dose not working for you. Based on my research, the Phentermine 30mg dosage form should only be taken once daily. However additional information I found suggests that due to increases in tolerance your doctor may advise you to take 1 tab in the morning as well as a half a tab in the afternoon. I would just encourage you to double check with your doctor before making any changes; this way you don't run out of your script it's time for a refill. I hope this helps answer your question!

I am age 65 and have had eye floaters for a while. I have just started taking Belviq (Lorcaserin HCL) about 1 week ago and have noticed more floaters. I generally expect more floaters as I get older. Call taking Lorcaserin HCL increase or worsen eye floaters. ## Hi Bill, From your description it sounds to me like Belviq could very well be exacerbating the condition. According to research on NIH.gov, Belviq (Lorcaserin) can reportedly cause blurred vision or other vision related changes (including hallucinations). My suggestion if any of these symptoms were to become too persistent or severe, would be to contact your doctor immediately, just to be on the safe side. I hope this helps and hope your symptoms improve!

My wife keeps getting these oval small white pills that are scored in the middle. they are white with little blue or green specks. the # on the pill is either 810 or 018 depending on how you hold the pill. she is taking them for weight loss. but the doctor never writes a script and she has to go there to get them. each visit is 180.00 can these be bought over the counter? what are they? and are they safe? ## Hello, Todd! How are you and your wife? I have been unable to find anything that matches this description and I've searched multiple databases, I even poured over 7 pages of Phentermine pills. It seems very odd that he would give them to her there, rather than write a prescription. Phentermine tablets are also usually not small, they are large oval tablets about the same size as...

I have been on yeduc 15mg for 2 days now, my appetite has increased and I found myself yawning the whole day at work. Will these symptoms fade after a few days or does it mean I should get off it? I feel I need to eat something or snack every couple of hours!! Don't know if it's bcuz its working and my metabolism is higher or my brain is getting used to the new drug or if it's having an opposite effect on me. Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this. ## Hello, Nanazz! How are you? The issue here is that there's no way to be certain of what you're actually taking. While Yeduc is supposed to contain Sibutramine, there are no guarantees that it does, or that it doesn't contain it with many other unidentified ingredients. Mexico does not regulate their ...

Trying to find a doctor in Ventura who would prescribe it? ## Hello, Chonch! How are you? I'm sorry, but there is no listing of doctors according to what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. Technically, any doctor can prescribe, it's really a matter of seeing a doctor and discussing it with them to see if they will do so. Belviq is manufactured by Arena Pharmaceuticals and they list it as being used to aid in weight-loss. Typical side effects as reported to the FDA may include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and back pain. Can anyone recommend a good doctor in that area? Are there any weight loss specialists that might help?

I am looking for a doctor who will prescribe phentermine 37.5 mg from mexico for weight loss treatment.. Is it legal to obtain it through mail order, if that's at all possible? ## Hello, Kat! How are you? A U.S. doctor cannot prescribe a Mexican medication. They can only legally prescribe what is approved by the FDA for use and sale in the U.S. Additionally, as long as that medication is available here, or an equivalent is available, it would also be illegal to order it via mail for import. The only exception would be if you were visiting that location, a doctor prescribed it there and then you were returning to the U.S., in such a case, you could bring back up to a 3 month supply. Phentermine is available here, as a name brand and a generic, so there is also no need to obtain it fr...
