What Causes Weight Gain While On Carbimazole?

Yes Hi, I am on carbimazole two tablets daily treating me for graves (overactive thyroid) The problem is that unlike most people with this I seem to gain weight. rather than lose it. Out of desperation and talking with some friends, I ordered Gardenia Cambodia online. Reading the label it says you should consult a physician if you have any known medical condition. I only see my specialist in three month intervals so I thought I would inquire online. Can I take this with my condition?

Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
You can use it safely there is no interaction of Gardenia Combodia with carbimazole.
However, weight gain in Graves diseases is a good sign.
For weight loss, dietary modifications and Excersize is the best strategy.
Hope it helps best.
Take your best care.
