Is it a good idea to take diet pills?
Is it a good idea to take diet pills?
Avoid articles that claim to help you lose weight quickly and easily. The FDA does not regulate over-the-counter supplements. According to the FDA, most of these products are ineffective, and some are even harmful. According to federal regulators, drugs that are not approved, for use in the United States have been found in substances sold as dietary supplements.
FDA-approved diet pills are not a magic bullet for weight loss. They will not work for everyone, they all have disadvantages, and none are risk-free. However, if the health problems associated with obesity are significant enough, the small benefits they offer may outweigh their harms.
Consult your doctor to see if prescription weight-loss pills are appropriate for you. More information about safe and efficient ways to reduce weight and maintain a healthy weight can be obtained from your doctor
