...............................................................................


Step 3...!

  • Take prescription weight-loss medicine.
  • Don't take medicines.

Key points to remember

  • Being very overweight makes you more likely to have serious health problems, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
  • Weight-loss medicines may be an option if you haven't been able to lose weight with diet and exercise and if:
    • Your BMI (body mass index) is at least 30 (or at least 27.5 if you are Asian).
    • Your BMI is at least 27 and you also have another health problem related to your weight, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
  • Medicine may help you lose a small amount of weight. But without permanent changes in eating and exercise habits, most people gain weight again after they stop taking the medicine.
  • You must decide whether the benefit of taking a certain medicine outweighs its side effects. Side effects of weight-loss medicines include headaches, nausea, bowel problems, and increased blood pressure.
  • Weight-loss medicines can be expensive and may not be covered by your health insurance.

What are weight-loss medicines?

Most weight-loss medicines work by making you feel less hungry or making you feel full sooner, so you don't eat as much.
Weight-loss medicines include:
  • Orlistat (Xenical). This drug prevents some of the fat calories you eat from being absorbed in your intestines. A lower strength of it, sold asAlli, is available without a prescription.
  • Appetite suppressants (benzphetamine, diethylpropion, phendimetrazine, phentermine). These drugs keep you from feeling as hungry. They are approved only for short-term use.
Weight-loss medicines are used along with diet changes and more physical activity. Without those lifestyle changes, you will gain the weight back if you stop taking the medicine.


Note..!


Medicine doesn't work for everyone. If you don't lose 


weight within 4 weeks of starting the medicine, it


probably won't help you.


      ............................................................






Step 4...!




What are the risks and side effects of weight-loss medicines?



Side effects of weight-loss medicines
Orlistat (Xenical)
Appetite suppressants (benzphetamine, diethylpropion, phendimetrazine, phentermine)
  • Changes in bowel habits, including:
    • Oily or fatty stool. The oil seen in a bowel movement may be clear, orange, or brown.
    • Stool or oily matter that leaks out when you pass gas, oily matter that leaks out even when you're not passing gas, and an urgent need to go to the bathroom. Research shows that this happens to 22 to 27 out of every 100 people. This means that 73 to 78 out of 100 don't have this side effect.
    • Being unable to control bowel movements.
Sometimes these side effects go away after a few weeks. But often they don't. They're the main reason people stop taking this medicine.
  • Nervousness
  • Irritability
  • Sweating
  • Nausea
  • Headache
  • Dry mouth
  • Constipation
  • Sleep problems
  • Possible addiction
  • Higher blood pressure
  • Faster heartbeat
Most of these side effects are mild, and they usually improve with continued treatment.
If You are under a lot of stress, have an emotional 

illness such as anxiety or depression, or have an 

alcohol or drug problem, you need treatment for that 

problem before you use weight-loss medicine. If you 

don't treat it, you will have a harder time losing 

weight.



      .............................................................


Step 5...!


Why might your doctor recommend weight-loss medicine?


Your doctor may recommend weight-loss medicine if:
  • Your BMI is at least 30 (27.5 if you are Asian).
  • Your BMI is at least 27 and you have other problems related to your weight, such as:
    • High blood pressure.
    • High cholesterol.
    • Type 2 diabetes.
  • And you have tried for at least 6 months to lose weight with diet and physical activity.
  • And you don't have untreated depression or another major mental illness, and you don't abuse alcohol.
If your doctor prescribes a weight-loss medicine for you, tell him or her about all prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements that you are taking.
Your doctor will want to watch to see if your weight loss improves your type 2 diabetes, cholesterol, and/or blood pressure.

..................................................................

Step 7.

Must read these personal stories of those persons who has taken the medicine..

Personal Stories


Personal stories about using medicine for obesity


These stories are based on information gathered from 
health professionals and consumers. They may be 
helpful as you make important health decisions.
I was concerned about taking a weight-loss medicine. 
I was worried about those stimulant diet pills that 
people took years ago that had such a questionable 
reputation. But after struggling to lose not even 5 
pounds over the past 8 months, I am now ready to 
see whether medicines can add anything to the good 
habits I've tried to establish. I know the medicine isn't 
going to be a magic bullet, but I hope it can give me 
that little extra help I seem to need.

John, age 50

I realize that I didn't gain my extra weight in just a 
few months, and I don't expect to be able to lose it all 
quickly. I want to get back to eating a more balanced 
diet again, and set a good example for my kids so 
that they don't develop poor eating habits as they 
grow up. I plan to start taking them for walks and 
introducing them to lots of outdoor activities that we 
can do together. I don't want to be on pills for the 
rest of my life. I need a long-term solution.

George, age 45

My sister has been taking a weight-loss medicine for 
about 4 months now, and she has been on a low-fat 
diet. We have been walking together 3 times a week. 
She has lost about 10 pounds already. I don't think 
I've lost any weight yet, even though I have been 
watching what I eat, too. I think if the medicine gives 
me a little help toward losing those first few pounds, I 
have the good habits and will power to keep the 
weight off on my own.

Susan, age 42

The side effects of Xenical sound pretty unpleasant to 
me. I have made a few changes in my diet, and I am 
walking twice a week. I'm going to give myself at 
least a year of a balanced diet and exercise before I 
consider whether I want to try taking a medicine.

Carla, age 40
