Weight Loss Medications
Losing weight is a challenge yet often a necessity as obesity is directly linked to a number of health problems. A weight loss plan does always need to be multifaceted and tackle the problem from several angles – a change of lifestyle habits and diet as well as increased physical exercise are core pillars of any successful slimming plan thus inevitable. Weight loss drugs on prescription can be a useful aid and give that necessary boost, however it is important that you watch what you eat and be more active at the same time.
Acomplia (Rimonabant) and Reductil (Sibutramine) are two appetite suppressants you have perhaps come across or even taken before, however both of these have been removed from the market over safety concerns with regards to their potential side effects.
At the moment, Xenical (Orlistat) is the only weight loss drug which can be prescribed by a doctor. In weakened form it is available over the counter under the brand name of Alli. Xenical contains twice the amount of active ingredient which makes it a more powerful drug and as such it is subject to medical prescription by a qualified doctor.
Orlistat acts in the digestive system and blocks the absorption of fat from the food you eat by up to one third, which means it can boost your weight loss by up to 33%. Xenical should be taken with every meal, so that’s an average of 3 capsules a day, unless you skip a meal or snack on fat free food. It is very important to stick to a calorie and fat reduced diet during treatment in a bid to reduce the chances of unpleasant side effects such as oily stools (the blocked fat is egested through the digestive tract). With Xenical you can safely shed around 5% of your body weight, so why not start working towards your new me today?
