Q: I am 34 years old suffering from gynaecomastia and I have this problem since school time but it is really visible now. I would like to know if there is any way I can get rid of it. I do not want to undergo any surgery I have read about this medicine on the Internet called Gynexin Alpha Formula (Gynexin Male Breast Reduction). How safe is this and is a similar medicine available in India? I cannot do any workout on chest as I had met with an accident last month and broke my left arm bone (from shoulder to arm joint). I have an implant (plate and screws), hence cannot do workouts. I would request you to kindly help me out because it is really bothering me and I feel very embarrassed. I am weighing 76 Kg and my height is 5.6 feet.

A:The manufacturers of Gynexin claim that it is obtained from natural sources and has no side effects. These claims have not been audited or verified by drug regulatory authority of any country, which is compulsory for all medicines. Hence Gynexin is not an approved medicine. It is risky to take such lay-press and Internet advertised products not only because they may not work but also because of unknown long term side effects. Medical science is not aware of any molecule, which would go only to fat cells in the mammary glands and dissolve them. I think your only remedy is surgery.
