Warfarin, Lisinopril And Lipozene
UpdatedI take 4mg of Warfarin 5 days a week and 5mg of Warfarin 2 days a week. I take 10mg of Lisinopril once each day. I exercise daily and try to eat right, however I can't seem to lose any weight. Will there be any ill effects by taking lipozene along with my normal medications? Thank you in advance for your time, consideration and prompt attention I know you will give to this matter.

Hello, Gin! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having.
Lipozene is a supplement that is claimed, but not proven to aid in weight loss. It has also not been evaluated for possible interactions with prescription medications or medical conditions, so there is a chance it may contain something that could cause blood thinning or elevated blood pressure and heart rate. Thus, I'd suggest not using it, unless you have your doctor's approval.
As to the weight gain, there is a good chance that it's from the Lisinopril. Most blood pressure/cardiac medications can cause some weight gain as a side effect, along with nausea, headache, dizziness, increased urination and hypotension, and if that is the case, then you won't lose the weight as long as you continue taking it. It might be best to speak to your doctor about trying a different medication to see if it helps. It isn't likely that all of them will cause you to gain weight, so it's just a matter of trying different ones to see which works for you, without causing such a problematic side effect.
Is there anything else I can help with?
