Prescription diet pills
Saturday, December 13th, 2008Though prescription diet pills have been scientifically tested for their effectiveness in helping a person lose weight, most of these drugs have some side effects. So health care regulatory agencies in most countries do not allow sale of these drugs without consulting a qualified medical professional, so that the user is aware of the side effects and takes suitable precautions while using the diet pill.
Reductil is one of the most popular diet pills and affects the neurotransmitters of the user so that he or she feels full even after eating very little. Effectively the calorie intake is reduced and the person loses weight. Doctors recommend that this diet pill should be used for a maximum period of 12 months continuously and if the patient does not stop taking this diet pill, his or her health could be adversely affected. Like all other diet pills, it should be combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
Xenical or Orlistat helps a person lose weight by promoting the metabolism of the fats stored in the body. It filters out the fat in the food consumed by the person, so that no fat in the food is digested and the body fat is used for normal metabolic activities. Xenical has been found to be most effective as a diet pill for individuals who restrict the fat content of their diet to less than 30%. It is advisable to take vitamin supplements at least 2 hours before taking Xenical, since it interferes with the absorption of fat soluble vitamins.
