Weight loss pills work in a number of ways. They are medications rather then supplements and you need a prescription in order to get them. One of the reasons people like prescription diet pills is that they have some basic research already backing them up and have been pharmaceutically tested. This does not necessarily mean they are safe but it is important to know that they have gone through some regimen of testing involving human volunteers. As you will learn, many people make themselves available for drug research to the Pharmaceutical companies as test subjects or guinea pigs in return for being paid. That being said, the non prescription weight loss pill market is a mish mash of over the counter supplements manufactured by the big pharmaceuticals all the way down to small outfits that outsource their supplement manufacturing to other small companies that do small batch production whose quality standards may be unknown to you.
Prescription weight loss pills on the other hand can be researched for FDA approval and customer satisfaction on innumerable review sites because their distribution goes through the medical establishment (physicians). Just because its prescription doesn’t necessarily mean its safe. Prescription means that you must check with your doctor because it becomes more or less a personalized weight loss pill in essence. Whether your doctor prescribes a slimming weight loss pill, a thermogenic diet pill, phentermine, ephedrine, zantrex, meridia, or adipex, it really doesn’t matter. Whatever your doctor prescribes is all about your needs and your body’s needs. This is what your personalized diet pill is all about. If you go ahead and take diet pills on your own without consulting your doctor then you may be unaware of certain drug or diet incompatibilities with the prescription diet pill.
Prescription weight loss pills work in several different ways. they may work to block the absorption of fat in the intestines by interfering with the activity of pancreatic lipase. The downsides to using these fat absorption blockers or lipase inhibitors include gastrointestinal problems such as flatulence, oily stools, and unpredictable bowel movements. One may recall the introduction of a fatty oil being used in fried snacks called Olestra. It was marketed as the magic oil because the body was not capable of absorbing it in the digestion process and was simply excreted out hence you get oily stools from the body’s rejection of this type of oil. Of course this oil was heaven on the palate because it had all the flavorfulness and pleasing texture of common frying oils like canola, corn, and soybean oils. the problems arose when you went to the bathroom and had to go through bowel movements that had all the characteristics of diarhea.
