I have been an overweight kid all through my life as I suffered from Bone TB in my childhood and the medicine made me fat. However, in attempt to lose weight I consulted a friend who advised me to take OPTISULIN a table a day in order for to lose weight before I go for my walks in the evening. I am confused now as I am not suffering from diabetes or high or low blood pressure. However, I have my father and mother both suffering from the same diseases. I am 28 years old, height is 5ft 11 inches and weight is 125kgs. Please advice if I can take this medicine or not as he told me it is completely safe and will not give me any side effects.

Hello! 1st thing you need to do is take advice of a qualified dietitian. Only a qualified expert can help to solve any of our problem without any complication. And medication or pills for weight reduction is not at all a good solution for any one. One might lose weight for that particular period but once stop pills again weight gain n many complication can take place. So I must advice go for small n frequent healthy meals with some activity n visit a dietitian. It will help.
