There are many weight loss medications that
are available by prescription. These diet pills are not a cure-all
and should not be thought of as a simple answer to your weight loss
agenda. Some have the possibility for serious side effects so you really
need to read the product information before you buy these medicines.
Prescription diet pills come under the names
of Adipex, Bontril,
Didrex, Ionamin,
Meridia, Phentermine
and Xenical. Of these, only Xenical
is not considered an appetite suppressant. Appetite suppressants have
more serious side effects and should only be used under the care of
your doctor.
When taking prescription diet pills you need
to follow the advice of your doctor. You should get regular exercise
and follow a low fat, low calorie diet. Remember that the basic formula
for losing weight is to take in less calories than you burn.
