Weight loss drugs aimed at patients struggling with their weight are used for a period exceeding 12 weeks demonstrating positive effects as opposed to a placebo. Weight loss medicine coupled with changes to the lifestyle of a patient leads to more weight loss than lifestyle changes conducted without any medication.
For one year, and showing patience, using these drugs results in a reduction of the total body weight ranging from three percent to twelve percent than the body weight lost via mere lifestyle changes. To some people this may not sound much. For such individuals as said even shedding off to five up to ten percent of the total weight whilst maintaining it off is very beneficial. For instance, it will aid in decreasing blood pressure, blood sugar and fats in blood termed as triglycerides.
