How Do I Choose the Right Diet Pill?
Posted Tuesday, April 25, 2006
When choosing a diet pill it is important to understand what you are getting. There are lots of different types, and each works in a different way. Non prescription diet pills generally contain caffeine, which increases heart rate and basal metabolism and gives you more energy in work outs, which can be quite effective in weight loss. Once these pills contained ephedra, which strengthened the effect on the heart rate and metabolism, but the FDA banned it in 2003 after proof that ephedra occasionally caused arrhythmia and sudden death. Now most non prescription diet pills use green tea, which seems to have an effect on the metabolism and also slows fat production, or bitter orange, which is a chemical isolated from citrus fruit. Other common ingredients include ''herbal ephedra'' which is often a plant called hoodia, and chitosan, which is produced from shellfish and is a mild fat blocker. (see Diet Pill Review)
Doctor recommended Diet Pills are available to buy online. You are asked to complete an online medical questionnaire which is then passed to a licensed physician who will review your information and prescribe the appropriate diet pills. The diet pills are delivered by an overnight Fed ex courier. There are essentially 8 different diet pills available, with the most commonly used being the Phentermines. (see Diet Pill Review) These are sold as Phentermine, Adipex and Ionamin. Other diet pills include Xenical, Meridia, Bontril, Tenuate and Didrex. Generally the phentermines are the cheapest and the most widely used. If you are going to use them, you must follow the instructions carefully.
The dangers of prescription diet pills are consistent with other similar drugs. Accidental overdose is a common problem when taking these diet pills. This is because many diet pills contain similar ingredients to non-prescription medications like nasal decongestants.
Diet pill side effects of drugs that operate on the brain to reduce appetite include: raised blood pressure, chest pain, fever, hair loss, depression, impotence, heart damage, to name a few.
