Hello
You are taking low calorie food , that's good.
Since all the tests are normal so take anti obesity medicine .
When such patient visit I prescribe them to take "ORLISTAT" 120 mg.
Orlistat 120 mg thrice in a day with each main meal containing FAT ;omit dose if meal is occasionally missed or has NO FAT.
This drug has few side effects , these are although minor but benefit is more so you can take this drug.
Side effects are:
Faecal urgency & incontinence , flatulence , fatty stools or discharge, increased defecation , headache , anxiety , fatigue , menstrual irregularities , abdominal pain discomfort.
However , these side effects are rare and minor , so you can take this drug .
Since this is a prescription medicine so get a prescription from your doctor.
Good luck.
