Is There Any Side Effects For The Weight Loss Pills?
Hi nice to meet you. I m a college student a bit concerned about the weight loss pills my friends are taking. They take a pill called Oxyelite Pro and it is a thermogenic pill. They claim it works great for them and it s completely safe as long as you drink water and maintain a proper diet. My main concern is thermogenic pills take effect on your thyroid which is a serious organ in your body. I was more curious if taking this pill could cause talk term effects on your body and cause damage to their kidneys and thyroid?

Hi,
Weight loss pills can cause serious damage to the liver and can cause abnormal liver enzymes. These effects can be severe in people with pre existing diseases. A single drug cannot provide complete and permanent weight loss. Kindly avoid such pills. Create a calorie deficit by altering your diet and by physical exercise.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
