Will Qnexa, positioned as the first FDA-approved weight-loss pill in 13 years, become the "silver bullet" for those who have struggled and failed to shed excess pounds? That's the question posed by Craig Primack, MD, FAAP, one of Dr. Oz's Obesity Medicine Specialists, this week. Here's what Dr. Primack, who is co-director of the Scottsdale Weight Loss Center, views as the real skinny on this and other weight loss medications. This pill combines 2 medications already available: phentermine and extended-release topiramate. "Both drugs have been shown to help weight loss when used as part of a comprehensive weight-loss program led by a medical obesity specialist physician and together seem to be synergistic, not just additive," says Dr. Primack.

Having prescribed this combination for years, Dr. Primack explained that the excitement about Qnexa focuses on the results of studies evaluating the medication. "The studies that looked at Qnexa showed 9.8-14.7% weight loss, depending on the dose and the amount that you are overweight. A 10% weight loss is enough to improve many weight-related diseases such as pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnea," he noted. However, it's not a magic pill. Dr. Primack prescribes it with changes in his patients' diets, a fitness program, a behavioral class, and sleep advice. Plus, he said, patients need to be accountable for following through with these lifestyle changes.

Should you consider it? Dr. Primack stated that the requirements for usage have not been defined, but he predicts "that someone will need either a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or BMI greater than 27 with certain cardiac risk factors, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. A fat reduction overview can help you construct a clear summarize of what you need to focus on to accomplish your fat loss objective if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an advanced or more improve level of their weight-loss program. Following are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your special weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss applications have tricked people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss programs only work by producing a person's body to eliminate more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. If used, it should always be used as part of a complete weight-loss program. I believe its effects will be best when used with diet, exercise and behavior modification." Talk with your own doctor about the possible benefits to you.
