if anyone were to try weight-loss drugs, they'd increse their chances of success if they used prescribed medications under a physician's supervision, and they usually acts as appetite suppressants and sometimes increase satiety (the feeling of being full). the main reason? they have had some nasty side effects. for example, Fenfluramine (brand name Pondimin), dexflenuramine (brand name Redux), and a combination of phentermine and fenfluramine (called "Phen-fen"), were all appetite suppressants that were banned in 1996. while effective, they caused primary pulmonary hypertension and valvular heart disease. as for modern stuff, sibutramine (Meridia) and orlistat (Xenical) are currently getting explored. meridia can cause increased blood pressure in some people, and xenical acts to inhibit dietary absorption of fat in the intestinal tract, which could work some people, at least theoretically. as for side effects, here they are: meridia: increased blood pressure, dry mouth, anorexia, constipation, insomnia, dizziness, and nausea. xenical: abdominal pain, fatty and loose stools (AKA steatorrhea, I'm studying medical terminology)leaky stools, flatulence, and decreaed absorption of fat-soluble vitamins,whoch include vitamins A,D,E, and K. my point? not worth it unless you've got some serious circumstances.
