Can you still take weight loss pills if you have leukemia?

Patient's question:

I have been diagnosed with leukemia, but I am quite overweight and really want to go on a diet. I'm not sure if leukemia patients can take weight loss pills?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with leukemia are not recommended to take diet drugs, because the physical condition of leukemia patients is relatively much weaker. If they use many diet drugs that do not have conventional drugs, it may lead to disease remission and the physical condition may also rise together. Currently, weight loss drugs do not have conventional drugs and are basically a type of health supplement. Additionally, in weight loss drugs, apart from many ingredients that provide effects, many are directly provided ingredients that can have some diet effects, such as many diuretics or ingredients that inhibit gastrointestinal digestion. Many of these are banned, so it is best not to take weight loss drugs, as they may worsen the condition.
