Can I Take 'oxy Elite Pro' While On 'euthyrox' After Thyroidectomy?
I had graves disease, and i had a total thyroidectomy done... I gained alot of weight after the operation, now i adjusted my diet and I increased my workout sessions, and i'm able to maintain my weight, but i got stuck with some extra fat around the torso that im struggling to remove i looked into fat burners and got me oxy elite pro, since it was the only one available but i saw some caution for people who have thyroid. I'm taking 100 mg euthyrox daily to make up for the removed thyroid hormones. and i was wondering if it was safe to take the oxy elite pro and whats the best dose, since i already have 2-3 cups of coffee a day in my diet.

Hi,
Oxyelite pro is not a safe supplement for weight loss. FDA has recalled the drug due to hepatic damage.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
