Yes: There are many prescription drugs available to help w/weight loss but none are w/o potential side effects.Taking medication w/o healthy nutrition & regular exercise won't work. In fact, most drugs only offer a few kgs more weight loss compared to placebo. Ask your doc about orlistat, phentermine, sibutramine & recently approved Qsymia & belviq (lorcaserin).
