Side effects of taking Ectiva can include an increase in blood pressure, headaches, constipation, dry mouth and insomnia. Other potentially serious side effects do exist in rare cases and regular visits to a doctor are recommended for all patients taking Ectiva.
Studies have shown that Ectiva, when used in conjunction with a low fat diet and regular physical activity can significant impact weight loss in obese individuals.
