Doctors often recommend a prescription diet pill for those whose obesity poses a serious threat to their health and wellbeing. These drugs work in a variety of ways, often as chemical neurotransmitters influencing the levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin influences not only mood but also acts to suppress appetite thus significantly reducing calorie intake.

Several of these dietary drugs include: Dexfenfluramine (Redux), Fenfluramine (Podimin), Phentrol, Ionamin, Fastin, Adipex, Sibutramine (Meridia), Orlistat. However, after testing and trial-runs, several of these drugs have been removed from the market due to adverse side effects. Some of these potential negative health effects include heart complications, irregular heart beat and damage to values, pulmonary hypertension or difficulties in the lungs and respiratory tract, dry mouth, insomnia, and gastrointestinal complications. In addition, these drugs are not recommended for those individuals already taking antidepressants such as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) or Prozac, or decongestant medication including Asthma treatment, or those who have a history of stroke or those suffering from high blood pressure. However Fastin, Ionamin and Adipex are still available on the market.

With any dietary medication, make sure you are fully informed of it side effects and potential benefits. Consult your doctor and www.thefitmap.com today for more information!
