Drugs that reduce appetite are used on a short-term basis to clinically treat obesity and promote weight loss. Before starting or prescribing a weight loss appetite suppressant program, a qualified weight loss physician conducts a physical examination and a complete battery of blood tests. Medicines are prescribed only after a complete medical evaluation has been performed.
What are appetite suppressant drugs?
The appetite suppressant drugs we prescribe are effective in reducing hunger pangs and thoughts about food and in making you satisfied after eating smaller portions. They also increase the chances of fast weight loss with their inherent tendency to render you desirous of sticking to the prescribed diet.
What are the different types of appetite suppressant drugs?
Phentermine/Adipex/Fastin is the commonly prescribed appetite suppressant that, when used in conjunction with diet, exercise and behavior therapy, affords faster weight loss. It helps reduce hunger pangs while new lifestyle changes are put into effect. It stimulates the hypothalamus gland and affects neurotransmitters to reduce appetite on a short-term basis.
Bontril stimulates the nerves and brain center that increases heart rate and blood pressure while reducing appetite. One of the components of effective weight loss programs is supplemental dieting and exercise.
Meridia s an FDA-approved prescription medicine for supplementing a reduced calorie diet and exercise program. It not only helps you lose weight but it also assists you in maintaining that weight loss. It works by boosting chemical messengers in the nervous system.
Orlistat aids weight loss and helps keep that weight off. Orlistat works inside the intestines and blocks fat from being absorbed by the body. Excessive fat intake leads to fat accumulation, thereby resulting in weight gain. Orlistat prevents this tendency from taking place. It should be used on a short-term basis under medical supervision only.
