How to use medicines for weight loss
A slender figure is a fetish of our time, therefore, in order to lose weight, we are ready for anything, including taking medicines for weight loss. Nevertheless, quite a lot of medical experience has already been accumulated, warning people against thoughtless use of medications. Doctors remind: there are no harmless medicines, each of them must be used strictly according to indications, and only as prescribed by a doctor.
Dietetics is a branch of medicine that deals with nutritional issues, including excess. It would seem, what could be more natural than referring to a dietitian about your existing weight disorder? Indeed, in case of throat diseases, we turn to an otolaryngologist, in case of eye diseases - to an ophthalmologist, pain in the teeth will lead us to the dentist's chair, and only excess weight for some reason gives reason to believe that he is quite amenable to self-medication. In some cases, the methods used are really safe and can give good results. For example, establishing a diet, switching to healthy foods, limiting the intake of sweet, fatty and fried foods. This is the norm, and this cannot harm your health. Taking medication is a different matter.
Obesity is a metabolic disease. Metabolic processes are among the most complex processes in the body, and metabolic disorders require careful correction. Weight loss medications grossly interfere with the existing metabolism. And, despite the fact that with excess weight it is disturbed, it is not at all necessary that such an intervention will correct it. Action at random, with approximate dosages, without taking into account the existing pathology and side effects, with a high degree of probability will only aggravate the situation, and then serious therapy will already be required, sometimes dragging on for several months or even years.
Does this mean that weight loss drugs are always harmful? Of course no. Only their thoughtless use is harmful. Like any medication, weight loss aids can be beneficial if they actually address the cause of the failure. Only a doctor can determine if a particular medicine is right for you. The trial and error method in relation to your health is extremely inappropriate, since the trial can be very painful, and mistakes are very costly.
How to use weight loss medicines? It is reasonable and only as prescribed by a doctor, after passing an examination and identifying the causes of overweight. In most cases of alimentary obesity, medication is not required at all. An individually selected diet combined with physical activity, although not a cherished magic pill, is harmless and effective.
