Does Oxylite Pro Help In Losing Pregnancy Weight?

Im very interested in taking GNCs OxyElite Pro.. Ive been reading as much as I can about it.. Im a little nervous about taking it.. I tend to have PVCs every now and then and have had and echo, EKG, stress test and had a 24 hour holster and everything came back normal.. I work out regularly and eat well but I cant seem to shed the last few pounds from my last pregnancy... Would I be ok with taking the oxyelite pro??

Dear patient,
Thank you very much for your question. I have previously answered a similar question regarding usage of OxyElite Pro. OxyElte pro is a weight loss supplement and recently FDA laboratories have found the presence of Fluoxetine in Oxy Elite pro supplements. Fluoxetine is a drug belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors group which is used to treat anxiety disorders, depression,bulimia etc.
However, according to FDA using OxyElite Pro especially those who are on other medications for some illnesses can cause serious side effects,therefore,FDA has advised Oxy Elite pro consumers to stop using it. Again, this is not my personal opinion and that is what FDA says to its consumers. So I do not recommend you to use to for losing weight. Regular exercises, aerobics will be more helpful than using supplements that cost side effects than benefits. Also you can consult a registered dietitian for choosing right food and correcting your dietary habits towards losing weight. If you have any questions, please reply me.
Good luck!
