Warnings:

By purchasing this product, you acknowledge that OPTIFAST VLCD is for the dietary management of overweight and obesity and must be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Very Low Energy Diets are not recommended for use by pregnant or lactating women, infants, children, adolescents, and the elderly. People over 65 years and those with existing medical conditions should consult their healthcare professional before use.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. OPTIFAST VLCD is intended for individuals with a BMI>30 or BMI>27 with medical complications associated with obesity. Consult a healthcare professional if you have recent myocardial infarction, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, or are on lithium therapy. Regular monitoring is recommended for individuals with a history of gout, porphyria, hepatic, renal, or gall bladder disease. Alcohol should not be consumed during the OPTIFAST VLCD Program.

Transient effects such as sensitivity to cold, dry skin, rash, hair loss, postural hypotension, fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, muscle cramps, halitosis, irritability, and menstrual disturbances may occur. These are generally manageable but consult a doctor if they persist. Rarely, numbness or gallstones may occur. Adequate fluid intake and including a teaspoon of vegetable oil with the two cups of vegetables daily can help mitigate these effects.
