monitor your progress or check for side effects. Consult your doctor
for more details.

For best results, this medication should be used along with exercise,
a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet, and a weight loss program if you are
overweight. To help reduce your risk of heart attacks and strokes,
check your blood pressure regularly, seek medical treatment if your
blood pressure is high, and stop smoking. Consult your doctor for more
details.
