Diagnosed With Acute Pancreatitis, No Gall Stones Or Alcohol Consumption, Have High Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Lipid. Can I Restart Duromine?
Hi there, I have been diagnosed with Acute Pancreatitis . Cause is unknown, it s not gallstones, alcohol but potentially high cholesterol/triglycerides/lipids though that is also unconfirmed. I feel that I need to lose weight and I would like to restart taking my duromine that I was taking prior to the pancreatitis attacks. Is this safe?

duromine are phentermine, one kind of brain area suppressant ( esp the area of appetite). can affect your heart and blood vessels.
higher triglycerides can be the cause of pancreatitis, but what i would recommend is
can i have a detail report of lipid profile.
i guess you should consult your physician and get started with atrovastin (10mg) and fenofibrinate (50mg) ( as per your body weight)
take this as a suggestion and final decision could be taken by your treating gastroenterologist.
thanks
