Prescription Diet Pills - Comparison and How to Buy Online

Updated on June 2, 2010

Many people fear that diet pills aren't safe but they have an interest in trying them anyway. The goal of losing weight, especially if it can be achieved by taking a pill, is just too great of a goal for many people to pass up. This is true even if they are concerned that they're health is at risk. But to mitigate the risks of taking a diet pill, it's possible to get a diet pill prescription. This allows you to get a pill that is right for you and to have your weight loss progress monitored by a doctor in order to help you lose weight effectively in a way that is relatively safe.

If you're thinking about taking diet pills, you should consider speaking with your doctor about a prescription for a diet pill that is right for your needs. You'll need to meet some basic criteria. Diet pills are for people who are overweight. They are also to be used on conjunction with a monitored diet and exercise plan which takes into consideration the drugs that are in your body from taking the pills. If you meet the criteria and are willing to take the pills under these conditions, you can get a diet pill prescription.

There are a number of different prescription diet pills on the market. Some of the ones that you might consider taking include:

  • Adipiex (http://www.drugs.com/adipex.html) - There are a number of other drug interactions which have been known to cause damage if they occur. Be careful when using this drug; it should be relatively safe under the care of a doctor.
  • Didrex - This is an amphetamine-based prescription diet pill. It is a new version of old drugs that are now off the market because they were deemed unsafe. Preliminary studies have showed Didrex to be safer than those drugs were.
  • Meridia (http://www.meridia.net/) - This is a prescription diet pill for people who are overweight with a BMI of at least 30. See this article for information on Meridia and where it can be purchased.
  • Xenical (http://www.xenical.com/) - This was a prescription diet pill for a long time. There is now an over the counter version of Xenical available but it is still recommended that it be taken as a prescription drug to get the full effects of being monitored by a doctor during its use.

Once you have your diet pill prescription you can purchase the pills from a number of different locations. You can opt to go straight to your local pharmacy and purchase the drugs there. Alternatively, you can opt to go to an online pharmacy to purchase the drugs using your prescription. If you choose to do this, you should look around - not only do you want to get the best deal but you want to make sure that you use a reputable online pharmacy so that you don't get outdated diet pills. Make sure to use a company that checks your diet pill prescription and follows up with your doctor to confirm the prescription's validity.
