Lipozene Side Effect

It was seen on tv to help get rid of belly fat and I was wondering what the side effects of this drug are? ## I am looking for success (or failure) stories from people who have tried Lipozene to lose weight. ## On Lorsartan, Bystolic & Amlodipine Besylate - also Crestor & Zetia - can I take Lipozene without any problems? ## Can I take lipozene with benazipril for my high blood pressure ## Lipozene is a supplement that is manufactured by Obesity Research Institute, according to the product website. While it is touted to help with weight loss, since it is a supplement, it has not actually been proven to do so, under current FDA testing standards. Their claims state that it contains a natural fiber that absorbs water, which helps you to feel full faster, since it's claimed to e...

I began taking Lipozene pills (the recommended dosage of 2 pills up to 3x a day 30 minutes before a meal). I started the. pill on 7-18-14 just 1day before my monthly cycle. Well I've been on my cycle ever since! Its now been 12 days! This is not normal! I stopped taking the pills 2 days ago. I've been experiencing a tremendous amount of blood clots. I am not pregnant, & I stand 5'3, 180, is it possible that these pills have caused these issues?? ## Hello, Jaya! How are you doing? Has the bleeding stopped, yet? Since over the counter products aren't evaluated for side effects, it is difficult to say whether or not the Lipozene may have caused this issue. How old are you? Are you on any other medications? Have you consulted your doctor? ## Ask your doctor before taking...

Before you buy something it's always good to do in-depth research on the product. I wanted to try Lipozene but then I searched for Lipozene Reviews on Google and this page showed up: rebelmouse.com/lipozene It looks like a 30 cap bottle will last you only for 5 days since you have to take 6 a day, that will be around $180 a month, not to mention it has terrible side effects.

Is there a diet pill that's safe to take while on Latuda? I really want to try Lipozene. ## Hello, Happyturtle! How are you? I'm sorry, but Lipozene is a supplement, not an actual drug, so it has not been evaluated for possible interactions and problems with medications and medical conditions. Latuda is an antipsychotic that's used to treat mental health conditions and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, drowsiness, tremors and sedation. In theory, since Lipozene only contains a type of fiber that helps you to feel full, so you eat less, you should be able to take it with the Latuda, but you should double check with your doctor first. Is there anything else I can help with? ## You shouldn't take diet pills period! My mom had 6 kids, started taking diet pills after...

Andrea, are you on any other medications? If so, you should double check wit...

Can I take lipozene with metformin? I take four 500 mg of metformin a day. ## @Pumpkinb, According to umm.edu's drug interaction checker, there are interactions listed between the active ingredient in Lipozene (Glucomannan) and Metformin. These precautions note that 'taking Glucomannan with an anti-diabetic agent may cause blood sugar levels to drop too low'. Furthermore, taking the two together can reportedly increase your risk of certain side effects. And lastly, they also recommend contacting your doctor if you were to experience any of the following symptoms while taking these two substances: blurred vision, confusion, headaches, excessive sweating, nervousness, jitters or shakes. Having said that, it sounds to me like it would probably be a good idea to contact your doc...

I take 4mg of Warfarin 5 days a week and 5mg of Warfarin 2 days a week. I take 10mg of Lisinopril once each day. I exercise daily and try to eat right, however I can't seem to lose any weight. Will there be any ill effects by taking lipozene along with my normal medications? Thank you in advance for your time, consideration and prompt attention I know you will give to this matter. ## Hello, Gin! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. Lipozene is a supplement that is claimed, but not proven to aid in weight loss. It has also not been evaluated for possible interactions with prescription medications or medical conditions, so there is a chance it may contain something that could cause blood thinning or elevated blood pressure and heart rate. Thus, I...

My grandson is getting married at the end of July and I need to lose 25 lbs. Are there any appetite suppressants that are safe to take? ## Lipozene is a dietary supplement advertised to help with weight loss. Both the wiki page and the official website state that the active ingredient is Glucomannan (considered a dietary fiber), which is extracted from the Konjac Root. Because it is not classified as a pharmaceutical drug, you can't really get a definite answer through a drug interaction checker. Their FAQ page says "Always consult a health care professional before using this or any other dietary supplements. Stomach discomfort could arise. There are no known side effects when taking Lipozene® or MetaboUP PLUS as directed." With that being said, if you are already prone...

Can lipozene and xarelto be taken together? Are the effects of xarelto and lipozene compatible? ## Hi Lynne, From what I can gather, I believe your best bet would be to consult the doctor who's prescribing you Xarelto, since Lipozene (Amorphophallus konjac) itself is an OTC supplement that has not been approved by the FDA. Source: fda.gov/iceci/enforcementactions/warningletters/ucm392761.htm The various drug interaction checkers that can be found online also do not evaluate OTC dietary supplements - They only show interactions between different prescription drugs and other OTC pharmaceuticals (which Lipozene is not). I wish I could be of more help, but information on the combination of Lipozene and pharmaceuticals is scarce, to say the least. Does anyone else here have personal expe...

I take 165 mgs of methadone everyday and i have gained alot of weight since. I got Lipozene to lose the weight. Is it safe to take them together?? ## Hello, Lori! How are you? Lipozene is a supplement, not an actual medication, so it has not been studied to check for possible interactions with prescription drugs. Have you checked with your doctor? They may have some idea of whether or not it would be safe. ## I would like to know if I could take lipozene and methadone together, I am currently taking 80 mgs of methadone a day. I need to know if I could add lipozene and methadone together? ## Wondering if you ever found out an answer because I have the same question I am on 90 mg of methadone and just started taking Lipozene. And I'm just wondering if they would effect each other ## I...

I want to try the pill. Please advise. ## Lipozene is a dietary fiber, that said, fiber is generally considered good for blood pressure patients, since it can help to lower it.

I had a stroke 11 yrs ago and take 5mg of Warfarin daily. Has anyone had any adverse side effects while taking Lipozene with Warfarin? ## Hello, Pam! How are you? Given the fact that you are on multiple medications and have had a stroke, I wouldn't recommend taking anything, unless your doctor approves. A supplement like Lipozene is not tested for possible interactions with these types of medications, nor for contraindications with various medical conditions. Additionally, before taking Lipozene, you should be aware that the reviews listed on various websites, such as Amazon and RebelMouse are not positive. Many people were greatly disappointed in this product. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Warfarin as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of ble...

Is it safe for me to take Lipozene while i'm on Prednisone? ## Hello, Ron! How are you? Lipozene is not an actually medication, it is an over the counter supplement, so it has not been checked for possible interactions with them. Prednisone can cause some pretty serious side effects itself, such as nausea, headache, elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure and fluid retention, so it's likely best not to add anything you're unsure of, while taking it. Is there anything else I can help with?
