Can Sibutramine (appetite suppressant) and Xenical (weight loss pill) be taken at the same time?

I am taking Sibutramine but also have xenical. I was prescribed the Sibutramine on monday but I forgot to ask my docter if I can take xenical as well as the Sibutramine. Does anyone know? Thanks x

If memory serves, Xenical is dangerous for those with high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes? (not 100% on this, just seems to ring a bell)
If the appetite supressantcan cause high blood pressure as a possible side effect, you could be in trouble.
Best bet is to only take the pescription Sibutramine until you've spoken to your doctor.
Never mix drugs, its a very bad idea.

i don't think take both type of pill together is a good idea...
there should be a gap of atleast 15mins.
