I strongly do not recommend diet pills as a aid to weight loss. Diet pills that are sold over the counter at the drug store are not regulated by the FDA for safety Every year there are thousands of adverse events reported to the FDA about diet pills often times they contribute to kidney failure, liver failure, heart attacks maybe even death so someone really needs to do their research before considering a diet pill and I recommend strongly consulting with a registered dietitian before consuming one of these products.
