This is a very popular medicine in cases where greater weight loss is sought, thanks to its accelerating action on the slimming process. However, it is very important to follow the instructions, which indicate that it should not be taken, for example, with meals when you do not eat any fats, as it only acts on the absorption of fats.
It is also not recommended to take it with large meals, as this may increase possible side effects.
