Weight Loss Pills On Prescription

Weight loss pills via prescription – or prescription only weight loss pills means exactly that, only available via a prescription.

The type of weight loss pills that are obtained from your GP or doctor are very much weight loss drugs – far removed from the non prescription genre. In almost all cases the medicine obtained from a GP will be pharmaceutical grade, contain chemicals and almost no trace of any ingredient that could be considered natural or herbal.

Prescription weight loss tablets are not available to everyone – they are often given to patients that are at risk due there body weight and cannot diet sufficiently using more natural methods such as a change of diet or exercise.

Morbid Obesity

WIth over half of the UK population over weight and an increasingly large proportion heading toward obesity more and more people are turning to their GP or doctor for help.

The simple fact of the matter is that GP will not prescribe a weight loss pill to anyone for cosmetic reasons or vanity, their has to be a serious identifiable risk.

Body Mass Index

The general guide for self assessment is the BMI or Body Mass Index. It should not be used as a definitive guide but more tool for realisation that you may need to change your lifestyle, eating habits or both. Check Your BMI here.

If your BMI number is mid thirties you should consider losing weight – if you are nearer the 40 mark a visit to your GP is strongly advised. The 40 BMI range is a strong candidate for a prescribed weight loss pill.

Prescribed Weight Loss Pills

The two most common prescribed weight loss pills are Xenical and Reductil. There is no real hard and fast rule as to which tablet your doctor may prescribe. Xenical is the better of the two – it is proven to be more effective and a great deal safer in terms of possible side effects.

It is strongly advised for anyone considering buying Xenical via the web DO NOT – it is highly likely that the Xenical purchased will be less than genuine. Only obtain Xenical from your GP.

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 administer  and supervise.
2. The chances of buying genuine Xenical on the black market via the internet or otherwise is highly unlikely. 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.

Undigested fat can then pass through the body and leave via bowel movements. There is nothing complicated in the process – if a dieter were eat his or her normal or usual food portion they would be better off by 30% in terms of introducing fat or calories of any kind into their body.

Is Xenical Clinically Tested

One of only a few diet pills that has independent clinical data and medical research compiled and undertaken.

Xenical Side Effects

As with any drug class medication side effects can range from person to person and with varying degrees of severity. GP supervsion is critical not only to its success but also in identifying any complication that present themselves or could in the future.

Typically the side effect that is most common with Xenical is an increase in bowel movements and their irregularity. Some dieters have experienced a sudden bowel movement without warning. This is more of a nuisance side effect than anything else and does provide proof that the diet pill is working.

How To Buy Xenical

As stated previously – do not buy Xenical, make an appointment to visit your GP or doctor. If you qualify you may be prescribed a course for the price of a prescription.

Xenical Alternatives

In recent months an under strength version has been released for public resale and consumption. The brand name is Alli (or alli.)

Alli is a lower strength Orlistat that you can buy over the counter and online via the internet. There is no need for prescription but it is advised to visit your GP first and tell him or her what you intend to do. Alli is still a weight loss drug and not a herbal dietary supplement and so the same risks associated with Xenical still apply. Read More About Alli here

Proactol works in a similar way to Xenical by binding fat and stopping the absorption of fat into the body – upto 27% of fat consumption is bound and stopped and source and allowed to pass naturally through the body. Proactol is a herbal diet pill and so no prescription is needed. Proactol has clinical proof and has been classed as a Type 1 Medical Device. Read More About Proactol here
