Medications_for_Weight_Loss

Medications for Weight Loss The article I have chosen are medications related to weight loss. Medications for weight loss are not the only cure, they must be mixed with both daily exercise and a set healthy diet to maintain the full effect over a set time frame. Medications to treat obesity should be an individual choice for people with a body mass index over 30. Before weight loss medications are prescribed or taken the person should be aware of any pre- existing allergies they may have, whether or not they are impregnated, currently breast feeding or planning on it, and should be aware of all the medications that they are currently prescribed to take. There are many different types of medications prescribed to treat weight loss. Most medications being used were approved by the FDA and are recommended to be used for only a short period of time, varying from weeks to even months. “Appetite-suppressants” are the most available types of medications. These usually come in tablet or capsule form. Appetite suppressants work by making the body believe that it is no longer hungry or that it can’t take in anymore amounts of food. These allow the brain chemicals serotonin or catecholamine to increase which causes a decrease in a person’s medications, weight, taking, people, loss, side, medication, effects, body, should, xenical, therefore, symptoms, prescribed, person, excessive, while, types, set, risks, risk, question, obesity, individual, feel, fat, even, decrease, because, aware, approved, appetite, yes, work, type, treat
