Which Weight Loss Treatment is Most Effective?
Are you trying to lose weight but your efforts are just not doing the trick? For some, diet and exercise simply aren’t enough for them to lose weight. Whether it's due to life circumstances or health problems, many people need a little more help when it comes to losing weight.
There are many weight loss pills online that claim to help you lose weight fast, but do they actually work? Unfortunately, studies have shown that most of these weight loss pills do not live up to their promises. Don’t be discouraged, though! There are clinically proven medications out there that can help you on your weight loss journey. Pharmacy Planet has a selection of Weight loss assistive medications available online for your weight loss journey, including Orlistat and Xenical capsules or Saxenda injections.
Saxenda
Saxenda is an injectable diabetes medication that was found to also help with weight loss. That’s why in 2020 it became the first weight loss medication to be endorsed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in nearly a decade.
Saxenda injections work by making you feel fuller because they act as an appetite suppressant. The injections are administered below the skin once per day and are suited for people with a BMI of 25 or higher who also have a high risk of type-2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
Orlistat
Orlistat is the brand name for Xenical, a medication that stops your body from digesting around a third of the fat that is in the food you eat. Orlistat’s effects will start to work within two days of starting it and is best suited for people who have a BMI of 28 or higher.
To ensure that it works, you will need to eat three low-fat meals per day and take Orlistat with each of those meals. If you don’t stick to this meal plan, you may not be able to lose weight with this medication. Plus, if you eat a low-fat diet, you may be able to prevent the potential unpleasant side effects of Orlistat like flatulence, oily poo, and stomach pain.
If you are struggling with your weight, talk to your doctor or pharmacist today about whether weight loss medication is right for you. Pharmacy Planet has weight loss medication like Saxenda Injections, Orlistat Capsules, and Xenical Capsules available online in the UK. To find out more, visit https://www.pharmacyplanet.com/
