Then you are lucky to be here as although it looks an easy way to lose weight it has some danger that you should keep in your mind. These dangers can make you decide to not take any weight loss pill especially if you have a medical condition that prevent you from using these pills.
So what are examples of the dangers of weight loss diet pills?
#1 Side Effects:
Each drug has its own side effects that range from simple headache to dangerous side effects. Weight loss pills are not something dangerous and each pill has its own side effects that may be ok with someone and not afforded by others.
First thing to look at especially if you are taking any drugs for medical condition you have is the drug interactions. Ask your doctor about the weight loss pill you want to take and see if it has any drug interactions with the medications you take or not.
Some other side effects may not be tolerated by diabetic patients or hypertensive patients. Some weight loss pills were reported by the FDA to cause liver failure. So before you decide to take any pill ask about its side effects.
#2 Habit Forming Pills:
Some pills are habit forming and you may face problems when you decide to stop them. So make sure you ask your doctor if the pill you are about to take or already taking is easy to stop taking or not.
#3 Easy Weight Loss Could Be A Problem
Some people try a weight loss pill and when they see some results and they have a special event in the near future they think that taking a larger dose of the pill will make them lose the weight they want. Never try a higher dose of the slimming pills as this could be very dangerous with some pills. Also very fast weight loss can cause you serious medical condition like severe anemia. I know one of my friends who tried to lose weight very fast and he had a severe anemia, I think that he didnt think of losing weight again after recovering from the anemia as he is still overweight till the last time I met him.
The right way of losing weight should include diet and exercise, if you want to use pills then make it safe and consider it a bonus.
