Weight loss drugs can achieve weight loss effects because they add some chemical ingredients that can help suppress appetite, so that you do not feel hungry after eating a little, thereby achieving the effect of dieting. In addition, they increase excretion and improve the metabolism within the body, which is also the function of the ingredients added to most weight loss drugs. Specific main ingredients of weight loss drugs (main ingredients of commercially available weight loss drugs):

1. Fenfluramine

In the 1980s, fenfluramine was approved for production in China and was one of the most common ingredients in weight loss drugs for more than 20 years thereafter. The finished product is mainly used to treat simple obesity and obese patients with diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and anxiety. It is a central nervous system drug that helps suppress appetite in users.

In view of the continuous emergence of cases with serious side effects of fenfluramine, in January 2009, the State Food and Drug Administration suspended the production and sale of fenfluramine.

2. Sibutramine

Sibutramine mainly reduces appetite by affecting the human endocrine system, thereby reducing food intake and helping to lose weight. From the available materials, including FDA instructions and manufacturer instructions, it can be known that sibutramine should be used in conjunction with a low-calorie diet for weight loss and weight maintenance, and is used for individuals with an initial body mass index (BMI) of at least 30, or those with a BMI of 27 or higher with other risk factors (such as hypertension, diabetes).

Sibutramine can be used as an auxiliary treatment for obesity control, and it is generally not recommended to take it for more than one year. After discontinuation of the drug, weight may increase again. In addition, it is not recommended for individuals under 18 or over 65 to take this medication. Currently, all regular sibutramine drugs in China are prescription drugs and require a prescription to purchase according to regulations.

3. Orlistat

In 1999, the FDA approved orlistat as a prescription drug for weight loss in conjunction with a low-calorie diet for sale in the United States. In 2007, its low-dose formulation was approved by the FDA as an over-the-counter drug for sale in the United States.

These three are the most common ingredients in weight loss drugs, and they are also included in most weight loss drugs. After excessive use, these ingredients are harmful to the human body without any benefit, which is why it is not recommended for everyone to take weight loss drugs. Therefore, if you want to lose weight, please pay attention to healthy weight loss as the most important!
