Do you really want to shed some weight off yourself? Are u being called an overweight or obese in the language of medical community? Are prescription diet pills the answer for your situation? In the following article we will try and find out the answer of these questions and also some facts about prescription diet pills. There a several prescriptions that doctor prescribes on an every day basis. Some of them are stimulants that rev up your metabolism while some works as appetite suppressants. There are some prescription diet pills that work as both. Diet pills are very attractive stuff if one wants to lose weight, especially if one had tried several other predictable and conventional weight loss methods to lose that extra weight from your body but didn't gain any success. There are hundreds of diet pills brands and weight loss products available in the market today. While surfing the Internet we might see hundreds of links claiming to lose weight. Magazines are stuffed with ads of products that claim unbelievable weight loss results. With so many choices it becomes really impossible to check what's what and which products are based more on marketing hype rather than true effectiveness. So, please stay alert and be very careful! Even the most natural-sounding diet pills or weight loss supplements can be useless for weight loss, or dangerous, or both. There are no fears that some of these products offer the potential for real weight loss benefits. Unfortunately, sometimes unfounded or exaggerated claims lead to confusion for the consumer. Having adequate information about the efficacy and safety of weight loss products is a paramount in making a well-informed decision.

There are two types of prescription diet pills:

• Prescription-only diet pills
• Over-the-counter (otc) diet pills

PRESCRIPTION-ONLY DIET PILLS

Prescription only diet pills are the diet drugs. This medicine regulated by the Food and Drug Administration agency (FDA). FDA also monitors very closely their side effects. They may be advertised and prescribed for weight loss under certain condition and in certain pill-dosages. Many well-known and famous brand names come in this category of diet pills, which includes brands like Meridia (Sibutramine), Xenical (Orlistat), Adipex, Bontril, Didrex, Phentermine and Tenuate. Prescription only diet pills are designed and developed principally for those suffering from serious obesity i.e., with a BMI [Body Mass Index] of more than 35. Diet and weight loss drugs are not a cosmetic answer to weight loss, neither are they projected to substitute conventional diet and weight loss programs. It should be noted that those overweight and obese people who fail to lose weight on orthodox diet plans should not switch to these diet pills as a simple reply to their weight problems leaving all other contemporary methods. Instead they should carry on with their weight loss diet and work on improving their motivation to lose weight and exercise with using these prescription diet pills.

OVER-THE-COUNTER DIET PILLS AND WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENTS

The OTC diet pills and weight loss pills field is perhaps the fastest growing sector of this industry of weight loss pills and diet pills. However, these diet pills are classified as food supplements rather than diet drugs, and are relatively unregulated. These types of diet pills are tested and examined by FDA. They are not subject to the same advertising, dosage or labeling requirements as prescription diet pills. Although many diet pills and weight loss supplements of over-the-counter diet pills type contains ingredients with powerful properties resembling amphetamine and even though some of these diet pills have been associated with serious side effects including serious heart attacks and death, there is no compulsory reporting procedures for these diet products. OTC diet pills remain an unknown quantity. But still there is a small confusion in medical world regarding diet pill. Some experts consider that many OTC diet supplements and weight loss pills are safe diet pills in reality and not that prescription diet pills.

To be very frank there is 50-50 chances in the effectiveness of these diet pills. When used under proper medical supervision in combination with an accurate diet and exercise program, diet pills can be effective at least in the short term. In the short term because, the body adjusts remarkably quickly to many diet pills, so the benefits may quickly wear off. If diet pills are not used in conjunction with a proper weight loss program incorporating proper diet and exercise, they are not likely to be effective and helpful. In fact, some pills may even disturb your system causing weight gain.

Most diet pill companies are engaged in intensive researches in trying to discover or invent one genuine solution to the problems of overweight and obesity. They have worked intensively on amphetamine-type diet pills, now they are researching on diet pills that work in the brain to suppress appetite, or in the intestines to inhibit the amount of fat and calories digested. So the day is not very far when this world will be free of over weighted ness.
