Dr. Sohaib :

Hi, Welcome to Just Answer...

Customer :

Dr. Sohaib :

Do you have any concurrent medical illness like diabetes, or heart disease?

Customer :

Dr. Sohaib :

Any other medications that you take on regular basis?

Customer :

Atenolol 50mg - 1 daily

Dr. Sohaib :

What is your weight and height?

Customer :

5ft 3inches and 10 stones in weight

Dr. Sohaib :

Has this been prescribed to you by some doctor?

Customer :

no - found it through advertising in magazine

Dr. Sohaib :

All right...

Customer :

so can I take CoreLean or not?

Dr. Sohaib :

Well the only drug marketed these days with FDA (Food and Drug Administration USA) approval is Orlistat...

Dr. Sohaib :

Corelean is a herbal product and there is no data available regarding its interaction with atenolol...

Customer :

would you advise against taking CoreLean? The active ingredient is Carthamus tinctorius.

Dr. Sohaib :

Therefore, whether it can be taken along with atenolol, or alone, remains unclear as there is not significant clinical data to suggest it beneficial use in obesity...

Dr. Sohaib :

I would suggest you to stick to drugs that have proven clinical efficacy on the basis of multiple studies and clinical trials...

Dr. Sohaib :

So orlistat is the anti-obesity drug, that you can take after consultation with your doctor...

Dr. Sohaib :

I hope this answers your question...
