Question
Is it safe to take Slimquick while taking Prozac or will I get bad reactions from taking them both.

Answer
Hi Anne,
Products like Slimquick have not undergone a thorough clinical study and we really do not know much about them. Obviously we do not know how they interact with other drugs. Mostly they are marketing gimmicks and do not work, but if they contain active drugs they may be dangerous. I would advice not to waste time and money on such products.
