Dear ma'am,

Thank you for asking your query at XXXXXXX If you are in remission, then there is no problem in taking the weight loss medicine but i would advise trying to lose weight by natural methods
Although there is no interaction of the drug with your disease, it is better that you consult your oncologist once before starting the medicine.

Hoping for the best.
