Is It Safe To Take This Medication For Weight Loss?

Hello, I have hypothyroidism, I am currently taking a dosage of "Thyronorm 50mcg" every day. I bought OxyElite Pro (to lose weight). I would like to know if its safe for me to take these tablets. I am on a diet plan and exercise regularly but the weight loss is very slow. Please suggest.

Hello! Thank you for writing. It is normal that your loss it's slow, plus hypothyroidism slows down the metabolism. But if you are losing weight you are in a good way. Keep up like this. It is good to lose 3kg per month but if you are losing less it's ok too. Stick ti a good diet. Let's suppose you take the pills you lose weight than you stop taking those pills. You will gain weight and feel worse. Better stick to a healthy way of eating and exercise. It's a natural remedy. Plus during exercise is released serotonine the hormone of happiness. Try to eat a high protein diet with cheese, egg, cottage cheese, milk chicken, fish and less carbohydrates such as bread, rice, cookies, spaghetti, desserts. Than you.
Best regards.
