Hi,

It is not safe to take megrim diet pills while on thyroxine. Magrim Diet Pills promoted by street-vendors and websites as an efficient natural product for weight losing in the treatment of obesity.

It contains a compound 'sibutramine' which can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke and hence withdrawn from the market because of those dangerous side effects.

It should never to taken along with thyroxine as the risk of heart attack and stroke may increase by several times.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
