There are many research and clinical studies conducted for over-the-counter weight loss drugs, but not all the OTC drugs which are sold at your local pharmacy or health store will help you lose weight and may probably bring effects more dangerous than you'd expect. For example, a commonly used appetite suppressant in OTC diet pills, phenylpropanolamine (one of the ingredients in Acutrim and Dexatrim), was taken off the market when studies showed that it is associated with an increased incidence of stroke. The FDA recommends the public to stop taking any medications containing the drug (which also can be found in cold and flu remedies). If you find any drugs containing Phenylpropanolamine, get rid of them immediately.
Over the Counter Diet Pills: Do Your Research
It’s important to research about the weight loss products you plan to purchase, make sure the materials you read are independent medical publications or information not provided by parties associated to the manufacturing company. If you have health condition, speak with your doctor first before taking any over the counter weight loss pills. Some OTC diet drugs may interact with other medications to cause other health risks. Understand the side effects before you take them so that you’ll know whether they are suitable and safe for you.
