Brief Answer:
Did you mean liposome or liposole?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank for this query.

I am happy to hear you are concerned about your weight and want to take active measures to get it controlled. This is a very positive attitude and more so because you have already had a heart disease.

I discourage medications for weight loss. I will not recommend this medication. It is not an approved drug and thus so much information needed to evaluate the risk and benefits to make a decision is absent.

Can you tell me your weight and height at this time so that I can compute your BMI? Depending on what your BMI is, there are various suggestions on how to tackle weight issues.

For now, healthy diet, regular exercise, much fruits, vegetables ad no alcohol are helpful measures. Also, avoid cigarettes and stay active physically.

In all, I will not advise you use liposome. Provide information on weight and height so that I can provide helpful recommendations tailored o meet your needs.

I wish you well and hope to hear from you. Any concerns, please bring them to my attention.
