When taking diet pills

 

The diet pills such as Reductil or Xenical, for example, can be prescribed by endocrinologists for obesity, especially when associated with other health problems like diabetes or cardiovascular problems that can endanger the patient's life.

Thus, the prescription diet pills by the doctor can be made when the individual:

• Has a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 , which is considered obese and can not lose weight with diet or exercise; or
• It has a BMI greater than 27 and health problems related to weight like diabetes, cholesterol or high blood pressure and can not lose weight with diet or exercise. Learn how to calculate your BMI .

Before choosing a weight loss drug, the doctor evaluates the health history of the patient, the possible side effects of the drug and possible interactions of the drug with other medications the patient is taking. For a complete list of diet pills visit: Remedy for weight loss .

When not take diet pills

The diet pills should not be taken in cases where the individual:

• It is healthy and wants up to 15 kilograms;
• It has a BMI of less than 30;
• Has a BMI of less than 27, even if you have health issues associated as cholesterol or high blood pressure;
• Can you lose weight with diet and exercise.

In these cases, a good alternative to drugs are the weight loss supplements that when coupled with diet and regular physical exercise can help you lose weight. The use of supplements should be guided by the doctor or nutritionist, according to the objectives and individual health.
