Is LivLean A Safe Medication For Weight Loss?

I am 69 years old, female, with a-fib, CHF and hypertension. In ten years I have gained over 120 lb. Then I got fatty liver and diabetes and am on home oxygen. On lisinopril, furosemide, potassium, metoprolol, cardizem, clonidine, paroxetine, Lantus and warfarin. I follow ADA diet, do not smoke or drink. Is LivLean a safe product and effective for me? What can I do? My weight, BP and blood sugar can vary greatly from day to day. None of my doctors know what to tell me. I am a prisoner in my home and in my body. Can you help?

Hi,

It may not be safe while suffering from a number of medical illnesses. LivLean is an over the counter supplement intended for weight loss and optimal health.

Although this supplement contains multivitamins, herbs and various naturally occurring ingredients however its safety and efficacy has not been established on any clinical studies and FDA has not approved its use for such purpose.

Moreover, in presence of coexistent conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and fatty liver the use of this supplement is not advisable.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
