Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of loss of appetite and dry lips while on Adilip which is known as fenofibrate and is not majorly considered for weight loss but yes it causes muscle pain, weakness on long term use as it is used to reduced triglycerides in diet. Dry lips could be due to this as it increases high density lipoproteins. I would suggest you to visit general physician once and get your medication revised if it is really troubling you. Drink plenty of water to maintain hydration in body. Apply petroleum jelly on lips. Take alternative course of diet to increase your appetite. Take diet rich in fibers and fruits.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
