Alli Non Prescription Weight Loss Pills

Alli is a lower strength version of the prescription only Xenical. Xeninal is the brand name of weight loss drug Orlistat and considered to be one of the most effective weight loss pills currently in production. Xenical is not prescribed at will and only available to those who are morbidly obese or dangerously overweight. More About Xenical here.
A doctor will assess a patient and decide if their health is at risk and possibly prescribe (although this is not always the case) a diet pill if that patient is in agreement.

For dieters who are on the fringe of creeping into the over weight category but do not qualify for a prescription diet pill have no other choice other than to navigate the minefield of the over the counter (OTC) world of commercial diet pills if a weight loss tablet is their preferred route or method for losing weight.

Xenical Orlistat Prescription Diet Pills

Xenical is the brand name of the prescription only weight loss drug Orlistat. Xenical is possibly the most likely diet pill a GP or doctor will prescribe to a patient who is dangerously overweight or obese.

Orlistat is not available to everyone, only those who have a high BMI typically over 30. Check your BMI here. A GP or doctor will not prescribe to a patient on vanity or cosmetic grounds - a serious immediate danger to health from an overweight or obese perspective must be present.

Although Xenical can be purchased via the internet it highly recommended not to do so for two main reasons.

1. As Orlistat is classed as a drug (not a herbal supplement) it is not without risk, side effects and complications and so a GP or doctor should adminsiter and supervise.
2. The chances of buying genuine Xenical on the black market via the internet or otherwise is highly unlikley. Websites offering tempting propositions such as Cheap Xenical - Buy Xenical or Xenical For Sale should be avoided.

Xenical Orlistat - How Does It Work

A fat blocking genre of diet pill that can stop the absorption over 30% of fat consumed. It does not suppress appetite, effect the metabolism or have any affect on the brain - it is purely a digestive process that tackles the problem of obesity head on and at source rather than treat the after effects of over eating.

Phentermine Appetite Suppressant

Phentermine is a GP prescribed appetite suppressant or slimming pill. Although it shares certain similarities with Hoodia, in particular its effect on hunger cravings and reducing appetite - it is the other end of the spectrum as far as Hoodia Gordonii and naturality are concerned.

There is nothing natural about Phentermine, it is a pharmaceutically produced slimming pill that is strongly advised to be taken under strict supervision and control of a doctor or healthcare professional.

Phentermine is an amphetamine and phenethylamine class of weight loss drug. Make no mistake this is a drug - and powerful one that is not without side effect and risk.

How Does Phentermine Work

The introduction of Phentermine into the body will have a direct and swift effect on the brain. Neurotransmitters within the brain transmit signals to the central nervous system that cause the body to react and revert to “fight or flight” mode. Fight or flight mode is an instance whereby the mechanics of action within the body reach such a degree that the brain does not send hunger messages. The obvious result is loss of appetite and false feeling of satiety.

Phentermine History

Phentermine has been the subject of much debate and currently enjoys the status of an FDA approved weight loss drug - but only via prescription. This has not always been the case - in the late nineties, cases of heart valve disease where discovered in patients that were caused by the use of Phentermine derivatives. Derivatives were removed voluntarily from the open market but Phentermine stayed - possibly due to the power of market forces.

Today, Phentermine is easily acquired from the web and black market. It strongly advised against but desperation will always find a way. Phentermine is a genus and some of the popular brand names include;

• Adipex

• Anoxine-AM

• Fastin

• Ionamin

• Duromine

• Redusa

• Obenix

Phentermine For Obesity

Phentermine is prescribed for obesity and veiwed as short term only. It is highly addictive and used by GP’s to rescue a patient that is in dire need of weight loss and has not the ability to diet un aided. A GP will not prescribe Phentermine for cosmetic purpose.

Phentermine Side Effects

Often described as “chemotherapy for weight loss” Phentermine can create more health problems than it solves. Common side effects include: insomnia, nervousness, blurred vision, irritability, severe headache, stomach pain, diarrhea, high blood pressure, seizures, mental depression, panic, psychosis and fainting.

Another not so common side effects but nonetheless possible is heart failure.

Phentermine Vs Hoodia Gordonii

If you are obese to such an extent that your life is in danger, medical attention should be sought. If your GP does advise using a pharmaceutical weight loss drug ensure to ask him or her the possible repercussions. Your GP should make judgement based on your medical history.

Make no attempt to purchase Phentermine via any source.

Hoodia Gordonii can match the power of Phentermine for suppressing appetite - but not as quickly. Hoodia Gordonii is the safer natural alternative; but when a radical and quick modification in the brain is needed to save a life a GP/drug combination is the only choice.
