No, you must not use Bisomer for losing weight as it can be detrimental to your overall health. This is because Bisomer can produce serious dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. This reduces the functional ability of nerves, muscle and vital organs. The body will start depending on Bisomer for bowel clearance and over time, one can also develop a psychological dependence which might lead to eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. The right approach to losing weight is to indulge in some sort of physical activity and eat in moderation.

Bisomer is usually taken an evening before a bowel movement is desired. One should not take it more than once a day for more than a week. If there is no respite in constipation even after regular use, one must speak to the doctor immediately.
