Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Honestly speaking, there is no US FDA approved drugs far weight loss.
So better not to take any of these drugs as they are harmful first the bodybuilding and cause many long term side effects.
Weight loss can be achieved by strict dieting, aerobic exercise like running, cycling, swimming etc.
So better to consult dietician and follow dietary advice given by him.
Don't worry, you will definitely loose weight with all these.
Better not to take any medicines for weight loss.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
