Are prescription medications affected by the supplements on this program?


Question :

Are prescription medications (birth control pills, etc.) affected by the supplements on this program?

Answer :

The effectiveness of the Pill and other prescription drugs can be hindered by the water-soluble fiber in the psyllium. My advice is to take them at different times, either several hours before or after the Cocktail.

And since a primary function of Fat Flush is to protect your liver through a gentle cleansing, it would be a good idea to avoid over-the-counter medicines and prescription drugs during the two-week period. Of course, you should CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR FIRST before discontinuing any medication.
