VnExpressVnExpress01/06/2023


To lose weight sustainably, women need to build a reasonable diet, exercise regularly and use medication properly.

With the desire to have a slim body, Ms. Hoang Trang (31 years old, office worker) consulted information on social networks and bought a medicine with a commitment of "rapid weight loss" from the seller.

After using the first box, Ms. Trang lost 2 kg. This result convinced her to buy more products to use in the hope of regaining her slim figure like before pregnancy. However, she said she could not persevere any longer because she often suffered from low blood pressure and dizziness for a long time.

"I decided to use weight loss pills because I didn't have much time to exercise. During the first few months of trying them, I didn't see much of a side effect from the pills. As I looked forward to them more, I realized that my mentality changed and my body became more tired than usual," said Trang.

Ngoc Nga (student, 22 years old) said she also had a lot of trouble with diet pills. Because she wanted to lose weight quickly without spending time exercising, Nga listened to advice on the group that taking the pills could make her "sick" for 10 days and bought them to try. Like other cases, Ngoc Nga suffered from digestive disorders and a significant decline in her health.

According to Ngoc Nga, she stopped taking the medication because she could not concentrate on studying or doing anything else. "I went to the hospital for a check-up and persistently followed the doctor's instructions. With the healthy weight loss method guided by the nutritionist, I found that my body had recovered and I was no longer under pressure to lose weight like before," Nga added.

Currently, there are many types of weight loss drugs on the market to meet the needs of women to lose weight quickly, without spending much time and effort exercising. According to Pharmacist Tran Quang Son - of Pypharm Pharmaceutical Trading Joint Stock Company, some commonly used weight loss drug mechanisms are: drugs that metabolize fat in the body; drugs that create a feeling of fullness, causing loss of appetite; drugs that cause dehydration... Some types make users feel full, not wanting to eat or drink, reduce fat absorption to lose weight quickly...

Medical experts say that using weight loss drugs without a doctor's or pharmacist's instructions can lead to prolonged diarrhea, physical weakness, and long-term use can affect the nervous system, blood pressure, cause depression, drug dependence, etc., reducing the user's quality of life.

"All weight loss products have their own advantages and disadvantages and they are responsible for supporting weight loss. Therefore, users should never use drugs without truly understanding their body and without high determination because it can be counterproductive or the results are not as expected," said pharmacist Son.

People who need to use weight loss drugs should go directly to reputable pharmacies to get advice and buy products that ensure quality and safety when used. In addition, users also need to pay attention to factors such as: the origin and source of the product must be clear; at the same time, choose ingredients with natural extracts that are benign and safe.

Among them, Orlistat is a drug used to treat obesity, preventing fat absorption into the body; thereby, reducing the amount of calories we absorb. In addition to inhibiting fat absorption, Orlistat also inhibits the absorption of essential fat-soluble vitamins such as Vitamins A, D, E, K. Therefore, consumers need to supplement these nutrients when using Orlistat to lose weight.

Orlistat is used to treat obese patients with a body mass index (BMI over 30), or overweight people (BMI over 28) with risk factors (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc.). These are people who need to lose weight, or use weight loss drugs but need a doctor's guidance.

There are many brands on the market that use this drug, including Orlistat Stada 120 mg. The drug works by inhibiting the digestive system's lipase enzyme. Lipase is inactivated, so it loses its ability to hydrolyze dietary fat in the form of triglycerides into free fatty acids and absorbable monoglycerides. Undigested triglycerides are not or are poorly absorbed into the body, resulting in a reduction in the amount of calories taken into the body and leading to weight loss.

On the other hand, according to Pharmacist Son, obesity is caused by metabolic and endocrine disorders. Most overweight and obesity are caused by an imbalance between two factors: nutrition and physical activity. In addition to using drugs to lose weight, overweight and obese people can follow a reasonable diet, combined with scientific exercise methods. However, determination and perseverance are needed to effectively implement these methods in the long term.

Four solutions that overweight people need to coordinate synchronously to achieve effectiveness and maintain weight include: having a practical diet, suitable for each individual who needs to lose weight; physical exercise suitable for health condition; changing lifestyle; controlling stress.
