    Ketosis and Medication

    Does anyone know if medication makes a difference to Ketosis?

    I seem to be doing fine on Exante, which I started 1 week ago, but I have to take Lefludomide for arthritis and it seems to have stopped me from reaching ketosis (I think, it's not on showing on my sticks) plus I don't have headaches which is normal for a day or so. I have got the terrible taste in my mouth and have lost weight but I wondered if medication would make any difference.

    Has anyone else experienced the same or know if it will slow the weight loss down?

    Thanks all
    xx
