Over The Counter Weight Loss Pill 

OTC or over-the-counter diet pills are those that are available without a prescription from the physician. Many such pills are life threatening and some of them fail to achieve any weight loss. It is easily available in the pharmacies, but drug abuse is never recommended. Adverse health effects are seen. These diet pills work as appetite suppressants or pancreatic lipase inhibitors.

Diuretics and laxatives are generally consumed by individuals on weight loss program. These fail to prove effective, and results in a myriad of complications. Dehydration, digestive tract damage and severe cramps are seen. Non prescription drugs or over the counter diet pills are refrained from and guidance from your physician or nutritionist is recommended. Diet tea and other such laxatives empty the intestine by hastening the removal process. Diuretics result in heavy weight loss, which is due to the loss of water from the body.

Caffeine, ephedra and other stimulants used in these over the counter diet pills suppresses the appetite, by triggering the metabolic process. Phenyl propanol amine or PPA is yet another component of diet pills that result in a variety of complications. Carbohydrate and fat blockers are seen in certain OTC pills that also inhibit the absorption of certain nutrients.
