According to
manufacturers, diet pills use natural ingredients capable of prolonging life
and containing alcohol used in medication or flavoring. One thing’s for sure, never take diet pills
as a substitute for cutting calories without the doctor’s recommendation. There are simple but important steps to be
followed when taking diet pills:
1. Never crush
diet pills to mix in drinks or soups.
Take it whole with a full glass of water.
2.Diet pills
causes a person to urinate more frequently due to its diuretic effect. This could lead to dehydration, thus, causing
complications. As a precaution, it is
best to drink eight glasses of water every day while on diet pills.
3. Take only the
recommended dosage. Taking more than
required will not help you lose weight but increase the risk of side effects.
5. Always follow
the instructions set by the dietician and/or doctor and not only rely on what’s
enclosed in the box. Also, diet pills
will only work as expected if a diet plan is being followed.
6. After three
months, stop taking the diet pills.
Common diet phenylpropanolamine is safe to use only up to sixteen
weeks. Other studies show that it can
cause health problems if taken under one month.
There are two
kinds of diet pills; one is the prescription-only diet pills and the
over-the-counter diet pills.
Prescription Diet
Pills - are drugs regulated by the Food and Drug Administration agency which
side effects are monitored, maybe advertised and prescribed under certain
dosages. The most popular of these is
Xenical, which is licensed for long-term use.
However, this too has it’s own side effects, diarrhea, oily and
unexpected fecal discharge are just some.
Therefore, users are advised to take a low-fat diet plan.
While
Over-the-Counter Diet Pills are categorized as food substitute and are
unregulated. Beware that these diet
pills are not Federal authorities tested and may cause serious side effects up
to and including death.
Aside from a
dietician, local pharmacists can also help in determining the pills that are
safe and not for each person’s case.
Just be extra careful about the so-called “natural” or “organic”
ingredients. Not everything that comes
from a natural source is safe. One
example is Ma Huang, which is a botanical source of ephedrine known as a
stimulant and being studied for potential side effects.
Those who have or
have a family history of prostate problems, thyroid disease, mental illness,
high blood pressure, and heart problems should avoid taking diet
supplements. The same applies to those
who’ve had seizures or strokes. If
someone is taking cold medicines, especially those with decongestants, diet
pills should not be taken. Whether it be
a prescription or an over-the-counter diet pill, the dangers are unvarying with
other similar drugs which control the brain to reduce appetite and include
chest pains, hair fall, fever, depression, and even impotence.
And as a general
rule, don’t ever try to take diet drugs if pregnancy is suspected. Persons that are allergic to sulfites and
tartrazine should also avoid taking diet pills.
And those who are under 18 years or over 60 years of age should consult
their doctor first prior to taking any dietary drugs, especially if they rely
on over-the-counter stimulants used as a replacement for increase exercise.
