Hello doctor,

I want to lose weight and have polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD). Could you recommend any Ayurvedic products or medicines that can help? I am a student and do not have time for the gym or exercise.

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Weight gain is a common issue with PCOS, and I know it can be challenging to manage. To help with weight loss, I recommend taking Orlistat 120 milligrams once daily for one month. This can aid in reducing fat absorption and support weight management.

I hope this helps. For further queries, you can consult me at iCliniq via chat, phone, or video consultation.

Thank you.
