Answer

No!

This is quite a dangerous drug - it is a hormone that most people produce naturally, but some people with thyroid conditions are unable to. Some people with thyroid conditions put on weight, so by taking the drug it restored your thyroid to normal working order and the weight goes down.

You should not take this drug unless you KNOW that your body does not produce it naturally. It is easy to go into toxic shock if you take this drug and you do not need to!

DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG TO LOSE WEIGHT! IT IS TOO DANGEROUS!
