Metformin
For the diabetics, if they are interested in slimming, they should resort to metformin as the most common medication used. Metformin lowers the amount of sugar in the blood of people with diabetes by declining the amount of sugar produced in the liver.
It is also an effective way to treat women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It should be taken for two to three months under the doctor's supervision.
"Overusing this medication reduces the absorption of vitamin B12 beside it rarely causes lactic acidosis," Saeed noted.
He strongly warned of using injections which burn calories, saying that they aren't licensed by the Health Ministry here and have negative impacts on the heart and nervous system as well as causing hormonal imbalances.
Green Tea
Dr. Saeed said: "The green tea is a natural treasure as it works as a food supplement in the slimming process as it contains big quantities of antioxidants."
The green tea protects from aging and very useful for heart and liver patients, diabetics, and teeth as it combats dental caries.
