New Prescription Weight Loss Medication

Studies usually show that with, or without medication to lose weight the end result still ends up in regaining the weight unless a person really adheres to a healthy eating plan and lifestyle plan with it. Many weight loss physician assisted clinics utilize appetite suppressants and although they may work very well controlling appetite, for some there are just too many side effects. But, another new prescription weight loss appetite suppressant is on the horizon.

Developed by Vivus Inc., the drug Qnexa is showing promise in clinical studies as a more effective appetite depressant than previous phentermine related appetite suppressants.

Three various doses of Qnexa® have shown promise to the FDA “that it may be a revolutionary weight loss aid resulting in less susceptibility to cardiovascular disease, blood sugar regulation and inflammation related conditions. The more severe side effects are tingling sensations, dry mouth, upper respiratory infections and headaches." 

But let me strongly emphasize again, just as all the studies indicate, you still have to do the work to KEEP the weight off with healthy eating, exercise, behavior modification, and I'd personally also suggest a strong maintenance program..
