Weight Loss Pills

Weight loss pills can be confusing.
Obesity is a chronic disease that affects many people. To lose weight and maintain weight loss over the long term, it is necessary to modify one’s diet and engage in regular physical activity. Some people, however, may require additional treatment. As with other chronic conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, the use of prescription medications may be appropriate for some people who are overweight or obese.
Prescription weight-loss medications should be used only by patients who are at increased medical risk because of their weight. They should not be used for “cosmetic” weight loss. In addition, patients should have previously tried to lose weight through diet and physical activity.
