Hi,

It is not advisable to use Oxyelite Pro for weight loss. According to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) one of the active ingredients of Oxyelite Pro is fluoxetine. Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor commonly prescribed for the treatment of depression, bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Its off-label use with an intent of weight loss can cause serious side effects including suicidal thinking, abnormal bleeding, and seizures. It is also not found to be safe in hypothyroid patients.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
