How Can I Reduce Weight While On Neo-mercazole Tablets?
I have been taking 5mg of neo-mercazole for the past 4 months. I am hardly eating and have since gained 5 kg and it doesn't look like the weight gain is going to stop. I am so depressed about it. Is it possible for me to loose this weight whilst on this medication?
