Does Sazo Cause Weight Gain And Hair Loss?
I am 27 year old girl with 5 1 feet height weighs 70 kg. I am suffering from ankylosing arthritis which is inherited from my father and my doctor has advised me Sazo. I am taking Sazo 500 for 6 months now. Can you elaborate if Sazo is the reason for weight gain and hair fall? Also please advise if there are any side effects of Sazo?
