If clinically relevant and sustained (e.g., at least two consecutive measurements) increases in blood pressure or pulse occur, Contrave should be discontinued. As patients with hypertension or a history of hypertension may be at increased risk of blood pressure elevations, care should be exercised when initiating treatment with Contrave in such patients.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 0px;">
Belviq (pronounced BEL-VEEK), is a new appetite suppressant or diet pill approved by the FDA in 2011 and it works to reduce your appetite and make you feel full, so you eat less.</div>

Phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia)</h3>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 0px;">
In July 2012, the FDA approved the drug combination phentermine and topiramate,with the brand name Qsymia (pronounced kyoo-sim-EE-uh) to treat weight gain and obesity in adults. Qsymia is a combination of two FDA-approved drugs:</div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; list-style-position: outside; margin-left: 16px; margin-top: 2px; padding-left: 0px;">
<li style="list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 5px 35px;">phentermine, a medicine approved to suppress appetite.</li>
<li style="list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 5px 35px;">topiramate, a medicine approved to control seizures. It may also be used to prevent migraine headaches. It is in an extended-release form in Qsymia.</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 0px;">
The generic combination of taking Phentermine and Topiramate, although not identical in dosing to that of Qsymia, gives similar results as can be expected when you combine two existing medications.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
What is the most effective weight loss medication?</h2>
In a <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/06/160614121237.htm">large study</a> that compared various weight loss medications, Phentermine with Topiramate (Qsymia) was found to be the most effective weight loss medication.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span class="bold" style="font-weight: bold;">Qsymia must not be used during pregnancy because it may cause harm to the baby.</span> People with an overactive thyroid gland, glaucoma, or who have recently taken certain antidepressant drugs known as MAOIs should not use Qsymia, although the drug was studied in patients taking SSRI and other antidepressants without adverse events.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 0px;">
In our experience, the combination drugs work the best as they combine the power of two or three existing medications for optimal results for appetite suppression and weight loss. </div>

This OTC or over the counter drug called Alli or the prescription dose Xenical is approved for use by adults. After 1 or 2 years of taking orlistat, patients may lose about 5 to 7 pounds. However, the gastrointestinal side effects make this drug not very popular.<br />

<a href="http://www.w8md.com/images/waistmeasure.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a>Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from your weight relative to your height. BMI is a fairly reliable indicator of body fatness for most people. BMI does not measure body fat directly, but research has shown that BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat, such as dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).<br />
<br />
Since it is easy and more practical, BMI can be considered an alternative for direct measures of body fat as it is an inexpensive and easy-to-perform method of screening for weight.<br />

If you are not physically active, spend less time in sedentary activities such as watching television, and be more active throughout the day. As people lose weight, the body becomes more efficient at using energy and the rate of weight loss may decrease. Increased physical activity will help you to continue losing weight and to avoid gaining it back.<br />
