Two Effective Prescription Medicines For Weight Loss

Jaun Koos asked:




A lot of people rely on the weight loss medications to shed the extra pounds. Many of these weight loss medicines are not particularly effective, which has made it very difficult for the people to rely on them. For such people, here is a look at the two effective prescription medicines meant for weight loss.

Phenterprin

A large number of people suffer from obesity due to the problems with their appetite. Such people are usually prescribed with an appetite suppressant, known as Phenterprin. It is very effective against the exogenous obesity. The medicine is usually prescribed along with a number of lifestyle modifications. Usually, the patients who are prescribed with this medicine also have to go for behavior therapy, diet modification and have to indulge in regular exercise.

This is an oral medicine which has to be taken with an empty stomach at least one hour before any meal.Usually, the medicine is recommended to be taken in the morning before the breakfast.

The medicine usually causes sleeplessness, so it is important not to take the dose very late in the day. The dose should be taken at least 10 to 12 hours before the bedtime. It has to be taken exactly as prescribed. The dose usually lasts for a period of 8 to 12 weeks in normal circumstances.

Phenterprin should not be taken with any other appetite suppressant medicines.

Xenical

Xenical has emerged as a popular weight loss medication in recent years. It has been specially designed for weight loss by helping the body with the fat absorption. Many people mistake it for an appetite suppressant. The medicine is meant for a long term use. It usually shows its full effect in a period of 1-2 years.

Xenical is usually prescribed along with a low calorie diet. It has been proven to offer significant weight loss in case of extremely overweight people.

The medicine is also effective in helping with the prevention of the weight regain which previously was lost. It actually works on the process of blocking the fats that are usually digested by the intestines.

It is an oral medicine which has to be taken 3 times a day with each meal that has a large fat content.

These two medicines can easily be bought online. They are available on all the leading websites that offer other popular prescription medications like Soma muscle relaxer, Tramadol pain medication, Ultram, Buspar and Nexium.

Antidepressants And Weight Gain

Weight gain is a reported side effect of nearly all antidepressants. Weight gain is a relatively common problem during both acute and long-term treatment with antidepressants, and it is an important contributing factor to noncompliance. However, it is not clearly known how antidepressant medications cause weight gain.

Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) appear to slow metabolism and may promote carbohydrate cravings. Because tertiary tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline, imipramine, and doxepin are stronger histamine blockers than are secondary tricyclics such as desipramine and nortriptyline, the tertiary tricyclic drugs are more likely to cause weight gain.

Mirtazapine (Remeron) may be placed between the SSRIs and the TCAs in terms of relative risk for weight gain. Weight gain is the most commonly reported side-effect of this antidepressant. It is likely to be related to weight gain in both the short term and the long term through blockade of histamine H1 and serotonin 2C receptors. The weight gain may occur even during the first 4 weeks of treatment with mirtazapin.

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) cause less weight gain than tricyclic antidepressants. Weight gain is less likely with SSRIs when they are used for 6 months or less. SSRIs-induced weight change is probably related to alteration in serotonin 2C receptor activity, appetite increase, carbohydrate craving, or recovery from clinical depression. Paroxetine (Paxil) appears to cause the greatest incidence of weight gain than the other SSRIs.

Venlafaxine (Effexor) appears to be a weight-neutral antidepressant.

Bupropion (Wellbutrin) is unlikely to cause weight gain, and is commonly associated with weight loss. Its chemical structure is similar to that of diethylpropion (Tenuate), an appetite suppressant. A number of clinical studies have shown it’s weight loss potential. The results of the 48-week double-blind, placebo- controlled trial have shown, that bupropion SR is associated with a 24-week weight loss of 10.1% and sustained weight losses at 48 weeks.
