What is an appetite suppressant?
An appetite suppressant is a drug that helps you to ignore those irregular hunger pangs. These hunger pangs are the main culprits which force you out of your diet regime. They are very similar to those urges that as a smoker faces when he/she tries to quit smoking. It is really hard to ignore these hunger pangs on your own.
This is where these appetite suppressants come into the picture. These appetite suppressants are broadly classified into two major categories:
· Prescription appetite suppressant
· Non-prescription appetite suppressant
Prescription appetite suppressants, as the name suggests can be ordered only through the prescription of a doctor. Phentermine 37.5 is the best example of this kind of pills. It is one of the most prescribed drugs for treating obesity worldwide. In 1959, FDA approved this pill an appetite suppressant. This pill was put forward by Gate pharmaceuticals. Over the year phentermine 37.5 has helped many weight loss aspirants to lose a considerable amount of weight.
This pill works on the brain and baffles it to believe that your tummy is full. What it does is neurotransmitter manipulations, which enable you to feel free from all those cravings. This pill also has certain side effects such as Blurred vision, dizziness, dry mouth, sleeplessness, chest pain, nervousness, pounding heart, difficulty urinating, mood changes, breathing difficulties, swelling, irritability, stomach upset or constipation, etc. These effects fade away with time.
If they persist for longer than usual then you should seek immediate medical attention. If this medication makes you dizzy or lightheaded, avoid driving or engaging in activities requiring alertness. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
