Weight loss pills are widely advertised as quick method to lose weight. These are food supplements and are not regulated by the FDA or any authority. Some weight loss pills may help you lose weight for a short time, but after a month or so, the body becomes immune to them.
I found information on weight loss pills and their side effects at http://www.toloseweight.org/weightlosspi...

Typically no, they won't cause any damage or long-term negative side-effects. However, you may want to take into consider the type of pill and ingredients that it contains. If you are also taking any other medications, especially Rx prescriptions there may be some interaction between the two. Most diet pills and all herbal supplements are NOT regulated by the FDA for purity, potency and other possible drug interaction. As long as you are aware of any side effects or symptoms i.e. jitters, headache, stomach cramps which are the most common you should be fine :)

Talk to your Doctor to be safe.If you are needing extra help to lose weight they will give you a Prescription.They will
know all you Health issues better than anyone else.
Be safe.
