Qnexa: A New Diet Pill

By admin On September 28, 2009 Under Blog

I don't like diet pills. I think they are not the right way to lose weight. I think people need to adopt better eating habits and change a lifetime of eating patterns that have contributed to their weight gain. Diet pills seem to me like a short-term "magic" solution that doesn't really solve the underlying problem of bad eating habits and no exercise.

I especially worry about diet pills because they often have bad side effects - and sometimes, only after they are approved by the FDA, reports about serious, life-threatening side effects surface. See the case of the alli pill, which as it turns out may cause liver damage.

So, when I read a report about Qnexa, a "novel diet drug that combines the stimulant phentermine with the anticonvulsant topiramate," I wasn't too excited.

Sure, patients taking it are reporting impressive weight loss - but at what price? Right now, the short-term safety of the drug seems OK, but we all know that sometimes it takes for a diet pill to enter the market and be consumed by a large number of people before serious side effects start to surface.

In addition, with diet pills there is always the issue of - what happens when the patient stops taking them? Will she go back to her old eating habits and gain back the weight? Whether people take diet pills or not, they have to change their lifestyle. You just can't lose weight without hard work, and if you expect to - chances are, you are going to be unpleasantly surprised.

Personally, I would stay away from diet pills.
