Can you prescribe diet pills?

Not online here: Diet pills decrease appetite a bit (they are related to stimulants). Other pills block fat digestion. One's desire to eat can be much stronger that a diet pill's power to decrease his appetite, so she will likely continue to eat too many calories. Also, diet pills don't increase one's desire to exercise. If something as simple as a diet pill was effective, we would not have so much obesity today.

Weight: Please visit your doctor and ask him/her about the ketogenic diet--high good fat and low bad carbs. The body then burns fat for fuel rather than sugar (made from the carbs). The fat will help you feel less hungry also. Please do this under supervision of doc or licensed nutritionist because your entire health history needs to be taken into account. Peace and good health.

On line ???: Various state boards require an established patient relationship, retrievable patient record, history & exam with recent vital signs to prescribe any meds. Some of these meds are controlled substances monitored by the feds. Providing you with any such meds could result in loss or restrictions to license, loss of DEA prescribing permit & eventual loss of livelihood. Don't expect it anywhere !
