Weight loss pills that actually work outline
Here’s a rundown of a few possible over-the-counter weight loss aids:
1. Orlistat (Xenical, Alli): This medicine blocks the digestive process where fat is normally absorbed, making it ideal for weight loss. Although it has been proved to aid weight loss, some users have had gastrointestinal side effects like diarrhoea and bloating.
- Phentermine: This medicine has been clinically proven to help patients lose weight since it acts as an appetite suppressant. But it comes with a long list of potential negative effects, such as a sped-up heart rate and blood pressure, trouble sleeping, and even addiction.
Thirdly, the GLP-1 agonist liraglutide (trade name Saxenda) has been demonstrated to be helpful in reducing body weight and enhancing glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Nausea and diarrhoea are some of the GI problems it may bring on.
4. Naltrexone and bupropion (marketed as Contrave) is an opioid antagonist and an antidepressant that works well together to aid weight loss. Constipation, nausea, and dizziness are some of the possible negative effects.
