Safety of Lipovox

Lipovox is a drug intended to help people with weight loss. Lipovox contains 10 "superfood" ingredients, such as green tea, garlic, cayenne pepper, acai berry, barley, soy and wheatgrass.

Regulation

• Lipovox is considered a supplement, not a medication, so it is not regulated by the FDA. There have been no clinical studies conducted on its safety or efficacy.

Conditions

• Talk with your doctor before taking Lipovox, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on any medication or have a preexisting medical condition.

Food Allergies

• Lipovox contains concentrated food extracts. Signs of an allergic reaction include hives, rash, wheezing, problems breathing, itching and facial swelling.

Side Effects

• Lipovox's official website does not list any possible side effects. However, some reviewers on the CritiCALorie website said they experienced headaches, constipation and gas (see Resources).

Considerations

• Because green tea contains caffeine, you may experience side effects typically associated with caffeine use, such as shakiness and a jittery feeling.
