Is a Diet Pill or Weight Loss Drug for you?

The things that Western Pharmaceutical companies will come up with to "help" people with weight issues never ceases to amaze me.

Do people believe that they can take care of their weight loss with a weight loss pill?

Drug companies keep coming up with new ways to help us lose weight.

Most of them are dangerous enough that even the FDA won't approve them without requiring a prescription.

What this really means, is that even though the company that has created the weight loss drug has given Millions of Dollars to the FDA, they still can't find it reasonable to let people take these diet pills without a supervising physician.

As a case in point …
Anyone remember Fen-Phen?

Meridia weight loss medication was released with approval from the FDA at the same time Fen-Phen was taken off the market.

But, Either way
The Drug companies keep coming up with new ones, paying the FDA huge sums of money to try to get them to approve their borderline suicide pills.
Fortunately the Food and Drug Administration has not yet become quite corrupt enough to allow most of them through without a doctors oversight.

That is, Until Now.

GlaxoSmithKline has been okayed to release a low dosage version of their Xenical, called Alli over the counter, without a prescription.
Check out this link for more info on their new system, Alli

GlaxoSmithKline would like you to believe that Bupropion Can Help Lose Weight

And some people are looking at Sertraline and weight loss

There are also the Herbal, or Non Regulated Weight Loss Pills as well.
For assorted reasons, they do not have to go through the FDA approval process to get onto shelves, or into your hands.

One of the most famous of these is Relacore
There are many Guarana Weight Loss Pills as well

Now I'm not saying that these weight loss drugs can't help you lose weight.
Obviously, there have been "clinical trials" of them that show that they can help with weight loss, before they could get approved

But do you Honestly Believe that you can take Weight Loss Drugs to magically lose weight without paying a consequence?

Even the companies that come out with these weight loss drugs push that you need to exercise more and eat better in order for these drugs to be most effective.
