I took 50 mg. amlexanox three times per day for two months. I got it online from a pharmacy in Japan. No weight loss, no change in blood sugar or insulin requirements. In short, there was no benefit.

Has anyone tried a therapeutic dose and what were the results?

I ordered 100x50mg Sol-fa tablets, I've been taking it for the last 5 days. I initially planned on taking 200 mg per day, but I found out it is also extremely effective at eliminating the itching and inflamation of my psoriasis, and greatly reduces the plaque build-up.This only lasts for about 2 hours per 100mg dose. So I've been taking 800 mg per day. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it's too effective for weight loss at this dose. I've lost 9 lbs so far, 241-232. I ate heavily on the first day, normally for 2, fasted for one, and normally again today. Yesterday, I lost 4 lbs, measured after eating 2 meals today. Anywhere I have a good deal of adipose tissue, my upper arms, stomach, thighs, butt, is warm, and has a dull ache. I've also developed petechiae on the skin over those areas. So I'm not going to try using it for psoriasis anymore, and will cut it back to 200mg. Hopefully these petechiae will clear up. I also had diarrhea for the first two days but that has stopped.

Is it possible the initial weight loss was from diarrhea and dehydration?
