Obesity Treatments

Obesity isn't always an easy condition to treat, as it can take time to lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way. One of the best obesity treatments available is simply following a healthy balanced diet with a decent amount of exercise, but it can be a challenge for even the most dedicated among us. This is why many people, especially those with health problems, find prescription medications helpful.

Prescription obesity treatments

Obesity treatments have a controversial history of safety concerns, which has seen the removal of Acomplia and Reductil from the UK market. Although these treatments were extremely effective, they worked as appetite suppressants which meant they influenced brain chemistry and therefore carried a slight risk of altering a user's mood.

Xenical (orlistat) is now the only prescription medication that may be recommended for the treatment of obesity. It works in the stomach and regulates the absorption of fat inside the gut and doesn't directly influence appetite.

Manufactured by Roche Xenical

Xenical may be recommended to you if you have a BMI over 28 and have underlying health problems or if you have a BMI of 30 and your doctor has diagnosed you as being obese. You will normally be advised to do exercise and eat healthily when you take Xenical as this will reduce the likelihood of side effects and can provide much more effective results.

Xenical can prevent up to a third of fat in each meal from being absorbed if it is taken with meals, helping the majority of users to lose up to 5% of their bodyweight within the first three months of obesity treatment.

Alternative obesity treatments

The effects of a healthy diet and exercise should never be underestimated and this is why it is always the first weight loss method to be recommended by doctors. If you're not sure how to get started, speak to your doctor about the best diet for you and the safest way to start exercising, especially if you haven't exercised in a long time.

Your doctor may advise that you start a calorie controlled diet and eat more fruit and vegetables. They can also provide obesity treatment guidelines to help you make better food choices. It is important that you make changes that you are able to maintain in the long run and that don't cause you to lose too much weight too soon, as you may not be able to keep it off, which can cause you to become demotivated.

Some people choose to use herbal or over-the-counter alternatives, however there is no concrete proof that these treatments work, and they may not always be suitable to use.
