this question i have to tell you that is kind of one of those things that i guess asked all the time and i have to ask if they're taking the over-the-counter one which is alli or are they taking a prescription one? some of the prescription ones work a little differently and it depends on the type of medication that they are on. so as a pharmacist i'm going to ask you to tell me which one you're on before i give you this type of information. common side effects with some of the stimulant forms that are used to weight loss can include things like heart palpitations rises in blood pressure nausea dizziness constipation abdominal pain. so you want to be really careful. when patients are taking these to make sure they aren't taking any other medications that they don't have any chronic conditions like high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease. products like alli have more treatment effects which could include some fatty oils that will come out when they actually go in the bathroom they might experience some flatulence or gas we call them treatment effects. but once again if they are just part of the medication doing its job it's actually helping you train to eat better and avoiding foods that are high in fat. so just come and talk to me. i'll be more than happy to tell you what might happen to you. if you have any additional questions we can always call your doctor and get you switched to something else.
what are the side effects of weight loss pills?
