Prescription drugs controlled and issued by a physician can help you lose weight. However, there are numerous side effects such as dependence, potential kidney damage, and increased heart rate and blood pressure. There could be interactions with other medications and taking a drug like that does not teach you behaviour modification. It does not strengthen your heart, it does not improve your posture, and it does not help you exercise. Things like that are in addition to eating well, eating appropriately, exercising, proper rest, and appropriate supplementation with nutraceuticals, not necessarily pharmaceuticals. That should be close to a last resort when trying to lose weight, and always make sure you're closely monitored by a doctor and that you're getting the appropriate blood tests to make sure that your liver function, your kidney function, and your blood chemistry is appropriate and as it should be.
