General information about your prescription
Your prescription includes 3 different kinds of medications, including both prescription medications and herbal-glandular mixture. They are called, Controller, Balance and Thermogenic respectively. The may be in the form of tablets or capsules.

Take each individual medication only as prescribed. Read the labeled as to the dosage and times to take each medication. Because the medications are formulated specially for you, do not take any other patient's medications.

Most medications can be taken with these medications. However, do not take any medication containing ephedrine, such as is found in over-the-counter cold medications, and do not take any medication containing an MAO inhibitor.

Because dosages, schedules, and formulations are made for each patient, side effects are minimal. After an initial "break-in" period in which your body is adjusting to the medication, you should experience no ill effects.

Once you have stopped the medications, immediately begin the maintenance program.

Do not take medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and keep out of the reach of children.
