Can I lose weight with a prescription medication?
There is no question that one can lose weight with prescription drugs. Drugs for weight loss have been around for decades and the majority do work. However, these prescription weight loss drugs do have certain side effects and complications that may not be desirable. The older weight loss drugs like amphetamines and fen-fen were excellent for weight loss but were also associated with serious heart complications, drug dependence and withdrawal symptoms.
Weight loss drugs are only ideal for short term use and can help one lose weight fast. However, these drugs are not meant for everyone and most physicians only prescribe them for individuals who have weight related health problems.
One should always start to lose weight with a healthy diet and regular
exercise. After a trial of 3-6 months, if this has not worked then perhaps one
should seek weight loss drugs. There are tons of herbs, lotions and potions on
cyberspace for weight loss. The majority of these products are fakes, scams and
shams. So save your money and avoid the disappointments. If you are going to
spend money, use it on something that works.
