Not only Hoodia eliminating hunger and suppressing the appetite but it seems to boost energy levels and counteract depression. Read more…

There are many drugs in the market for weight loss. Patients from all walks of life come to clinics in search of  medication which is going to make them thinner without any effort. No exercise, no dieting. It seems like the perfect and obvious choice. But is it? What about the side effects of these medications? Would it do more harm than good?

For the answer, we may have to go a little bit into the history of weight loss medications. In the 90’s, a popular medication for weight loss was commonly prescribed. It was called “phen-fen” and composed of phentermine and fenfluramine. However, this drug was later recalled due to the side effects of the medication. It damaged the heart valves. Apparently, the component which was the problem in the combination was fenfluramine. Phentermine on its own did not appear to have the same effect.

Currently, the more well-known weight loss medications available in the market are Reductil/Meridia(Sibutramine) and Xenical. Reductil/Meridia is an appetite suppressant and Xenical/Alli inhibits the breakdown and absorption of fat. These medications are approved for use in conjunction with lifestyle modification. Weight loss is typically seen after a few months of taking the medication. After this, weight loss tends to plateau off .

Another weight loss medication in the market is Duromine. With Duromine, weight loss is seen much faster, typically in a few weeks. However, side effects are unpleasant. Most people taking Duromine experience excessive thirst, insomnia, mood swings, lethargy and palpitations. It can be a little frightening when experiencing these effects. Some people are unable to tolerate Duromine due to the side effects.

The concept of taking pills for weight loss may be very tempting indeed. After all, popping a pill is infinitely easier than driving to the gym, looking for a parking space and then sweating it out on the treadmill or weights machine for an hour before dragging yourself home. However lets stop to consider the side effects of these medications.

Reductil/Meridia – the most common side effects are dry mouth, anorexia, insomnia, constipation and headache. However there is a long list of potential side effects including heart problems, seizures and high blood pressure. For a complete list of side effects of Meridia, have a look at Meridia side effects.

Xenical/Orlistat/Alli – As Xenical blocks fat absorption, the fat consumed is eliminated as waste products. This produces oily stool, abdominal bloating, nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal cramps and even leakage of oily stool.  These symptoms are reduced with low-fat diets. Other side effects include reported cases of kidney and liver damage. Uncontrolled high blood pressure was also noted.

The message in this article is that all medications have side effects. Although reported cases of side effects may be few, but we still have to weigh the risks of taking a certain medication against the benefits we are going to receive. For example, a person who is not able to lower persistent high blood pressure via lifestyle measures would benefit from taking drugs. In this case, the benefits of taking a blood pressure lowering drug outweighs the risks.

We must remember that any medication we take can potentially cause serious side effects. Is this risk really worth it for losing weight when lifestyle changes can provide the same effect? My answer is that if the person is able to exercise and keep to a good diet, that is the road to take. It is safe and has many other good benefits beyond weight loss.  Medications should be reserved for people who are obese and have some contraindication to exercise, eg arthritis of the joints. Even then, only short courses of these medications should be taken because people who are obese also tend to have other issues such as high blood pressure and heart disease which again compound the side effects of the medication.

In last three post of mine we have become quite familier with phentermine. But i left one aspect, what is the mechanism that it follows to help to reduce weight.Generally speaking , the mechanism is same as that of any surpressent.

It works on the hypothalamus portion of the brain.It is an amphetamine that stimulates neurons to release or maintain high levels of a particular group of neurotransmitters known as catecholamines; these include dopamine and norepinephrine neurotransmitter or chemical messenger that signals a response to reduce hunger.

Phentermine (through catecholamine elevation) may also indirectly affect leptin levels in the brain.Phentermine works outside the brain as well to release epinephrine or adrenaline causing fat cells to break down stored fat, but the principal basis of efficacy is hunger-reduction.In the absence of a hunger signal, there is a loss in appetite.

There are two variations of phentermine available i.e.

• The fast acting version of Phentermine- Adepix
• The time-released version of Phentermine- Ionamin.

Both the versions take different approaches, but both will help you eliminate your cravings and give you the ability to stay focused on your diet plan.

The best way to decide which of these types of Phentermine will best help you lose weight is by talking to your doctor. Since they know your medical history and any potential issues that could occur.

The point of my discussion will be adipex.

As said, this post is about Side- effects of phentermine.Phentermine dampens the appetite, lessens cravings and promotes energy, all of which are helpful for weight loss. It is important to understand what to expect when taking phentermine.

A dry mouth or an odd taste in the mouth, feeling anxious or nervous, mild headache, restlessness, trouble sleeping and constipation are the minor phentermine effects that are not long run. Your lifestyle choices can reduce some of these side effects, such as taking the medication early in the day to reduce sleep problems, drinking plenty of water to reduce constipation and exercising to reduce feelings of anxiety or restlessness.

Some side effects with phentermine,are potentially serious and should be reported immediately to your doctor. These include, but are not limited to:

• Signs of a life-threatening side effect known as primary pulmonary hypertension, such as:

• • Difficulty breathing
  • Chest pain
  • Fatigue or weakness
  • Dizziness or fainting
  • Ankle swelling
  • Blue lips or skin

• More outgoing or aggressive behavior than normal
• Strange behavior
• Hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not really there)
• Agitation or restlessness
• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• A rapid heart rate (tachycardia)

• A desire or need to take phentermine more frequently (or at a higher dose) than prescribed.

Allergic reactions

Urticaria, or hives, can occasionally occur in patients taking Phentermine. The symptoms seen in an allergic reaction can consist of itching eyes or skin, swelling, redness and welts.

If you find that you are having respiratory problems, or swelling in your throat, it is important to call your doctor immediately, as this can be harmful in some circumstances.

Endocrine

Phentermine has been associated with some endocrine problems, such as impotence and low libido

It is possible that you may experience some or none of the phentermine side effects listed above Unfortunately, it can be difficult to tell whether any particular side effect (such as nausea) is actually caused by phentermine or other factors. Therefore, make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects while taking phentermine or if something “just does not seem right.” While it may not be a side effect, your doctor will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
