Many others with a body mass index of 30 with tendency to become obese have also reasons to be scared. This section of population does, generally, consume prescription weight loss drugs to lose some weight of the body. The alarming thing is that most of these patients do not secure advices from their physicians before they purchase weight loss pills available in the market.

Some of the prescription weight loss drugs have been prepared to contain appetite. One can find them as capsules or tablets. Consumption of this kind of pills makes the patients believe that they are not hungry or that their belly is full.

Of course, there are several restrictions in consumption of Qsymia and the patients must consult their physicians before its intake.
