Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Lipo 6 black contains few herbal ingredients, nutritional supplements along with caffeine and thyroid hormone like products. The safety and efficacy of such products are yet to be proved scientifically. As there are not many clinical study reports available about this product, benefits of lipo - black and other weight loss suppplements are still doubtful.
To answer your query specifically, Yes some of the ingredients contained in Lipo - 6 black can interact with the medications you are currently on.
1. Caffeine which is present in Lipo - 6 can lower the efficacy of resperidone. Hence the effectiveness of risperidone can reduce when taken along with Lipo - 6 black.
2. Fluvoxamine can potentially aggravate the effects of caffeine. High doses of caffeine can lead to palpitations and cardiac symptoms.
3. Thyroid hormone like products may induce hyperthyroid like symptoms which can lead to anxiety.
Due to the aforementioned reasons, it is not recommended to take Lipo - 6 products if you are prescribed Risperidone and Fluvoxamine. Seek the help of your treating doctor before starting on this product.
Hope I have answered your query. Should you have any additional concerns, I will be available to address them.
Regards
