Appetite Suppressant Q&A
Do I need medicine to lose weight?
Weight loss medication can help many patients, but it isn’t necessary for everyone. Most of the weight-loss medications available are classified as “appetite suppressants.” Those suffering from obesity may benefit the most by using prescription drugs and appetite suppressants. These suppressants typically come in tablet or extended-release capsule form. Many weight-loss drugs are designed for short-term use. They are also meant to be used in conjunction with physical activity and a balanced diet. Contact the physician to learn more about the use of appetite suppressants.
How do appetite suppressants work?
Appetite suppressants encourage weight loss by using different combinations of drugs which influence the hormonal and chemical processes in a person’s body responsible for controlling hunger. These medications give people a sense of feeling full or satisfied. These hormones also disrupt the brain’s signal to the body telling it is hungry. This additional support helps patients to control their diets and follow the plan implemented by their doctor.
