How do weight-loss medications work?
Weight loss medication has been specifically engineered to support obese people who desire to lose weight. If you feel that you would benefit from this medication it is recommended that you speak with your GP as it is prescription only.
Weight loss medications can work in a variety of ways. These include:
– Reducing your appetite
– Stopping your body from absorbing about one-third of the fat you eat
– Limiting food cravings
Are weight-loss pills safe to take?
All medications, no matter what their intended purpose, comes with certain risks. Weight-loss tablets, such as Orlistat and Xenical, are no different.
However, as weight-loss tablets are prescription-only medicine your suitability, and any potential risks, will be assessed and discussed with you by a trained healthcare professional. This means you can make the most informed decisions about your health.
These tablets will only be prescribed for people who are classified as clinically obese (have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above). There are certain circumstances, such as if you have diabetes and your BMI is 28 or above, where you may still be eligible to receive the medication.
It should be stressed that weight-loss tablets should only be considered a short term measure. Ideally, the tablets are designed to help with weight loss while individuals make holistic lifestyle changes, such as increasing activity levels and eating healthy foods.
