Can OxyElite Help Weight Reduction Without Interfering With Hyperthyroidism And Hypertension Medicines?

I am 5' 4' and 150lb. I would like to take OxyElite Pro to lose weight. I take Methimazole 10mg for hyperthyroid that came on during pregnancy 6 months ago. I have a benign (it was checked with fine needle aspiration) complex cyst on my thyroid that will probably need to be removed in the future. I recently had my 2nd child 3 months ago (no breastfeeding) and I need to lose 20lbs. I also have mild hypertension that I take a low dose bp med but that has been under control for years. I am more concerned with it affecting my thyroid med than the hypertension issue because I feel I can closely monitor my blood pressure and discontinue using it if it does. Thank you.

Thank you for writing! I don't suggest you to use Oxyelite pro. I want you to know the dangers and the history of oxyelitePro in liver/heart failures as well as stroke, multiple reformulations with FDA taking it off the market several times and then finding the company putting Prozac in its pills and trying to sneak DMAA (banned by FDA)back into the product. Better control your diet. What kind of medication for hypertension are you using? Be careful with proteins in your diet because some diuretics give hiperuricemia(that is the end product of protein metabolism). Diets backfire if you cut calories too much. Studies show that people who eat less than 1,200 calories per day tend to have a slower metabolic rate -- which can make it more difficult to burn calories and lose weight. Even going too long between meals can slow metabolic rate. That’s why experts recommend eating a small healthy meal or snack every 2 to 3 hours. I suggest you to have a personalised diet by a nutritionist. Drink plenty of water and exercise regurarly. Thank you very much. Best regards.
