Suggest Safe Remedy For Increase Weight Loss

I would like to take Oxyelite Pro to help jump my weightloss, however I am taking cozaar and Triam/HCTZ for my high blood pressure. In addition, right now I am having a flair up of epstein barr and lyme desease so I'm on Doxycycle HYC 100 mg and Amitriptylin (Elavil) 10mg. The last two medications are temporary until my symptoms subside. I know others taking Oxyelite and are getting great results. My doctor doesn't really give me a definate yes or no. Would I be putting myself at risk considering my current health issues.

Thank you for visiting HCM,
Oxyelite Pro has proven time and time again that it is not safe, reliable and remains banned by the Food Drug Administration on our military bases. It has been found with pharmaceutical ingredients in it not listed on the label and a unsafe chemical called DMAA.

Your question is whether you would be putting yourself at risk. Sir, you would be putting yourself at risk for liver or heart failures regardless of your conditions and more so with them.

You didn't ask for my advice but some of the weight gain from Elavil can be prevented by taking the Lactobacillus planataria or gasseria probiotics.

Maintain good nutrition but switch to lean protein only, less refined carbohydrates and healthy fats. Get 210 minutes of exercise in per week and consult a dietitian for a full meal plan individualized for you might be a helpful guide.

Keep sugar free candy around the house as Elavil may increase cravings for sweets, no food for 3 hours before bed, drink plenty of fluids.

I hope I have answered your question. Regards, Kathy J. Shattler, MS,RDN
