Appetite suppressants can help some people control their appetite during weight loss, but before using any medication, it is best to consult a doctor to ensure its safety and suitability. There are currently a number of medications approved for weight management, which usually suppress appetite by affecting the central nervous system. Common medications include: 1. Orlistat - Although it does not suppress appetite directly, it helps with weight loss by reducing fat absorption. 2. Lorcaserin - It increases satiety by affecting receptors in the brain, thereby reducing food intake. 3. Phentermine-Topiramate - This is a combination of two drugs, phentermine is an appetite suppressant, and topiramate is an anticonvulsant. 4. Naltrexone-Bupropion - This is a combination of drugs developed for long-term weight management. These drugs may have side effects and are not suitable for everyone, especially those with health problems such as heart disease and high blood pressure. Before deciding to take medication to help you lose weight, be sure to consult your doctor about a comprehensive weight loss plan that includes dietary changes and exercise. Diet and lifestyle changes are often a more sustainable and healthier way to lose weight.
