How To Reduce Lower Back Pain That Started After Taking Belviq?

I ve been taking Belviq for two months and one of the side effects is lower pack pain alternating between the right and left sides. The intensity varies. Will this subside or do I have to live with it as long as I am taking this medication? Thank you

BELVIQ® is an FDA-approved prescription weight-loss medication that, when used with diet and exercise, can help some overweight (Body Mass Index [BMI] ≥27 kg/m²) adults with a weight-related medical problem, or obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m²) adults, lose weight and keep it off. It is not known if BELVIQ when taken with other prescription, over-the-counter, or herbal weight-loss products is safe and effective. It is not known if BELVIQ changes your risk of heart problems, stroke, or death due to heart problems or stroke. BUT BACK PAIN IS NOT THE SIDE EFFECT OF THIS DRUG SO DO NOT WORRY... JUST CORRECT YOUR POSTURE OR GO TO PHYSIOTHERAPY CLINIC BACK PAIN WILL DECREASES....
