Meridia is a prescription drug available to help obese consumers lose weight. Approved in 1997 by the FDA, Meridia is highly advertised as a way to help overweight men and women eat less and it is designed to be used along with a low-calorie diet. One thing that sets Meridia apart from most other over-the-counter weight loss supplements, however, is that Meridia is not an appetite suppressant.

More serious side effects could be suffered by patients who are taking drugs called monoamine oxidase inhibitors, or MAOI?s. MOAI?s are taken to treat depression, Parkinson?s disease, and other such disorders. Serious, sometimes fatal, reactions can occur if Meridia and monoamine oxidase inhibitors are taken at the same time. It is also important not to take Meridian along with other serotonin-regulating drugs. This can cause a rare but serious condition called ?serotonin syndrome, which requires immediate medical attention.
An FDA approved weight loss drug is usually prescribed for those who are nearing obesity or those who are already obese or morbidly obese. These are over-the-counter weight loss drugs where you need to get a prescription from a licensed doctor first before you can buy them. However, there are some weight loss drugs approved by the FDA that can be bought even without a prescription.
What Makes A Diet Pill Work? The ingredients that are found in a diet pill are what make the preparation effective. The ingredients will not only determine whether the diet pill is effective but will also give you an idea of possible side effects that may result from taking them.
The main reason that diet pills are taken while dieting is to help suppress the appetite or to help you not crave foods that contain high portions of fat, carbohydrates and calories. Diet pills aid the body in burning fat and increasing the metabolism, which is vital in weight loss. Lets take a look at some of the diet pills on the market and what their properties are in aiding your weight loss.
Xenical works in the digestive system by inhibiting gastric and pancreatic lipases to reduce the absorption of fats. In its clinical trial, Xenical showed that its average placebo-adjusted weight loss was 2.9 percent and the dropout rate was 30 percent.
Another drug, Acomplia rimonabant that is manufactured by a major pharmaceutical company, Sanofi-Aventis is quite popular in European markets. However, it has not yet been approved for use in the United States.
Acomplia helps in weight loss by blocking cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptors in the brain, liver and gastrointestinal tract. This action regulates glucose and fat absorption and suppresses appetite. Its trials showed a placebo-adjusted weight loss of 4.7 percent with 40 percent dropout rate.
