Modern day weight loss drugs

January 2, 2009

Modern day weight loss drugs act as a wonder medicine and cure different kinds of sickness in today’s world. Eat the weight loss drugs and see your weight disappear in no time and this is becoming a reality. Modern day weight loss drugs are very much effective but not with the absence of any side effects. Most of these diet pills target your appetite and your brain. They have also found their place in the doctor’s prescription forms. They may help your appetite to a certain extent however; at the same time, they can be destructive and addictive.

Various kinds of diet supplements are made of natural herbs but they have not undergone stringent tests in comparison to manmade drugs. However there are evidences to prove their effectiveness.

Phentermine
This medication is the oldest of the bunch. It received approval from the FDA in the year 1959 and was a craving suppressant. Its basic function is to work with neurotransmitters that are present in the brain and control the appetite. If you take phentermine, you will be able to eat less and lose weight. Obese patients suffering from severe medical problems due to their weight can take this suppressant and need to combine it with an exercise program and proper diet to get the desired results.

Unfortunately, you will come across certain side effects. Phentermine leads to high blood pressure and increases the heart beat in an individual. It will also lead to heart problems and sleep disorders such as insomnia. Additionally, if you prolong the use of this appetite suppressant, chances are that you may get addicted as well.

It is interesting to know that phentermine had a small role to play in the scandal of Fen-Phen that happened recently. Fen-Phen is basically phentermine along with other craving suppressants such as dexfenfluramine or fenfluramine. After some patients using Fen-Phen complained of heart issues, “fens” was removed from the existing market but Phentermine remained.

Orlistat
Everyone wonders if it is possible that the fat consumed just disappears and does not remain in the body. This is the main purpose of Orlistat. It is a new weight-loss diet drug which stops the accumulation of fat in the digestive system. Less amount of fat leads to less calories and certainly loss of weight. If you take it three times a day before your meals, it will block 30% of fat you consumed. This fat passes smoothly and safely through the digestive system.
