When Are Weight Loss
Medications Appropriate?
Weight loss medications are not
appropriate for everyone. A
number of things must be taken
into consideration before starting
a weight loss medication.
These include your past and
current medical history, family
history, likely health benefits of
weight loss, medication side
effects/interactions, and
medication cost.
Most diet medications are
taken on a daily basis and are
intended for short term use;
however, time may be
extended dependent on your
success.
Some diet medications can
be quite expensive and
may not be covered by
insurance.
Typically diet medications are
aimed at individuals with a BMI
of at least 30 or a BMI as low
as 27 with weight related
medical issues.
However, the medications
generally work best for
those needing to lose 50lbs
or less.
It's very important to
remember that diet
medications aren't magic
and don't work alone.
Changes in eating and
exercise habits are
necessary for you to have
and sustain successful
weight loss.
The goal is to change unhealthy
eating and exercise habits to
healthy ones while on the
medication, and to maintain
those changes once the
medication is discontinued.
As always, never take a
prescription diet medication
that wasn't prescribed
specifically for you.
