Weight loss pills are available as prescription, over the counter and herbal supplements. You must be wondering as which one you should buy and which will work best for you. Before deciding to use any of these weight loss pills, you need to consult your doctor, who will decide what works best for you, according to evaluation of your medical condition and how you respond to overall treatment.

Further, prescription weight loss pills can be either appetite suppressant or fat inhibitor. Prescription weight loss pills contain certain active ingredients which are controlled substances that can be prescribed only by your doctor and these pills should be under doctor’s control. Following are two best selling and most recommended weight loss diet pills by doctors:

Xenical – A Fat Blocker

Xenical is the only fat inhibitor prescription weight loss medicine available in market today. More commonly known as Orlistat, Xenical works in gastrointestinal tract to inhibit action of lipase enzymes from breaking down and absorbing fat eaten from meals. This way, Xenical Orlistat blocks about 30% of fat from being absorbed. Less fat consumed, hence, less weight gained.

Reductil Sibutramine– An Appetite Suppressant

Reductil works to eliminate your food cravings by targeting neurotransmitters in brain that affect mood and appetite. But there is long list of patients who should not take Reductil, including those with kidney problems, liver problems, high blood pressure apart others.

Though extensive testing involving years of research is carried out before these prescription pills are actually launched and approved for sale, these are not for everyone. These medications respond different from person to person and few can experience more weight loss than others. Moreover, it is very important to continue eating right with moderate exercising if you want good results with these pills.
