Appetite suppressant medications are of immense help in the weight loss process. It plays a key role in weight loss by diminishing appetite or increasing the feeling of being full. These medications fall into 2 broad pharmacological categories. Some of these act via brain catecholamine pathways whereas the others act via serotonin pathways. These drugs are reserved for those who are clinically at risk from being overweight.

The current licensing regulations only allow their use over a relatively short period (12 to 16 weeks) but clinical trials have shown them to be effective over longer periods, particularly in preventing weight regain. Appetite suppressant medications are used with a course of behavioral treatment and dietary counseling, designed to help you make long-term changes in your diet and physical activity. When used appropriately, appetite suppressants can be of real therapeutic benefit, and pose little risk to our health.
