Obesity and need to lose weight
My BMI is 29.5. doctor prescribed me reeshape capsule for my overweightness. I have started doing diet. Still not started reeshape capsule. Should I need to have multivitamin with orlistate capsule? I saw in some researches that orlistat works well with multivitamins containing vit A D E and K.
Can you pls sugest me any multivitamin capsule which contains Vit K as well?

Less than 30 BMI can be managed by diet control which is ultimate for weight management and that's needed for life time
Even when you take medicine diet and exercise regularly has to be done, further , how long one can take medicines
Regular excercise, and diet control with full determination , is the safest way

Orlistat prevents the absorption of some of the fat you eat. You should take it with liquids during the meal or up to 1 hour after eating. If you occasionally miss a meal or eat a meal that contains no fat, you should skip the dose of orlistat...
