Medications to Reduce Appetite:
These prescription drugs typically work on chemicals in the brain, leading to a reduction in appetite. Most are FDA-approved only for short-term use (less than one year). slimming factor (active ingredient, Sibutramine) is the only appetite suppressing drug approved for long-term use.
Medications to Reduce Fat Absorption:
This is a new type of obesity drug, called Xenical® (active ingredient, Orlistat), which operates in the stomach and small intestine where it inhibits fat-digestion by up to 30 percent. Since it does not affect the brain, nervous system, or heart rate, Xenical® is considered a safe option for patients with hypertension or heart risks. Patients on xian zhi su excrete all undigested fat, and so are advised to follow a low-fat eating plan to minimize discomfort.
