Get a free online consulation with a doctor. | Diet Pills - A Buyer's Guide Slimming pills can be divided into two categories - prescription drugs approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in the US and herbal remedies, which are not classified as drugs and therefore not regulated by the FDA. The main difference between the two is that prescription slimming pills have been tested in a full range clinical trials, and scientific claims can be made for their efficacy and safety. Manufacturers of herbal remedies may rely on smaller scale clinical testing, or on anecdotal evidence to support claims that they promote weight loss. What are the main prescription slimming pills? The main prescription pills are Xenical, Reductil (known as Meridia in the US) and Acomplia (generic name Rimonabant). Xenical works in your digestive system to block about one-third of the fat in the food you eat from being digested. Reductil is an appetite suppressant. It works by blocking the nerve cells that release and reabsorb serotonin, a brain chemical connected with appetite. This means serotonin levels increase. Increased serotonin levels make you feel "full" and thus your food intake is reduced. Acomplia is a newly released slimming drug. In clinical trials, obese people taking the drug lost 10% of their bodyweight in one year, and had increased levels of HDL (High Density Lipoprotein - the "good" cholesterol). It works by acting on the brain to reduce your appetite. Those patients who continued to take Acomplia for a further year were also less likely to regain the weight. Note that all of the above drugs should be prescribed by a doctor and only taken if you have a Body Mass Index of 30 or more, or 27 or more with related health problems such as diabetes or heart disease. There are side effects associated with all these drugs, it will be still necessary to diet and exercise, and with Xenical in particular you will need to follow a low fat diet. Discuss with your doctor whether any of these drugs are right for you before ordering them online. What herbal slimming pills are available and what do they do? The following herbal slimming pills are available without prescription in the UK and can be bought online:
