It is thought that weight loss prescription drugs can be effective if used combined with the right sort of exercise and diet. It is no good trying to use them along with junk food and an unhealthy lifestyle. These drugs are usually an aid to slimming, they aren’t classed as a magic fix, and you probably won’t see any results from taking them overnight. Although these drugs are readily available on prescription, it is thought that if you can improve your health and weight without taking then, then this is the best and most effective way of losing weight. Even when taking these drugs you have to change your lifestyle in general, in order for them to work.

Who can use them?

If you are at a healthy weight and BMI then you would not be considered an ideal candidate to take these sorts of drugs. Usually, you doctor would recommend you to take these if for instance:

· You have a body mass index which is deemed to be greater than that of 30.
· You have a BMI which is larger than 27 plus you have other serious medical problems which are related to obesity (such as high blood pressure or diabetes).

Before your doctor recommends any medication for you, he/she will consider any health problems which you have, along with your health history. Your doctor will also consider any side effect which can occur from taking these weight loss drugs.

These pills can help aid weight loss and if you do lose up to 10 percent of your total body weight then you could improve your health and benefit from:

· Improving your blood pressure
· Benefit from decreased blood glucose levels within the body
· Decreasing lipid levels
· And if you are insulin dependent, benefit from increasing sensitivity to insulin.

Always consult your doctor prior to trying out any medication, in order to get a full health test.
