Is the weight loss pill Slim Quick safe?!


Question: Is the weight loss pill Slim Quick safe!?
My husband and I both tried to lose weight recently, it was kind of a contest that we accidentally started (long story) and (I swear) just like the commercial for slim quick he lost about fifteen pounds in about six weeks and I lost nine pounds in six weeks, but most of it was in my breasts (lol)!.

Anyway, I have read online that slim quick isn't "worth" the money you spend on it, but I already have it, my doctor gave me a prescription for it, and while I have found a bunch of stuff online about people saying it doesn't work as well as claimed, is it safe to use!? I'm not that overweight, I am 25, 5'7" and weigh 160!. It's basically all the baby weight that I didn't lose combined with the added weight since I've been in a wheelchair (accident a few months back when my husband and I were hit by a city bus in NY)!.

I have looked online for information about if it's dangerous or not, but have only found numerous reviews!. I'm not asking for people to tell me I don't need it or if it doesn't work why am I trying it, etc!. I just want to know if anyone has heard anything about it being unsafe!.

Answers:
Anti-obesity drugs or weight loss drugs refer to all pharmacological agents that reduce or control weight!. These drugs alter one of the fundamental processes of the human body, weight regulation, by either altering appetite or metabolism!.

The main treatment modalities for overweight and obesity are dieting and physical exercise!. Because of potential side effects, it is recommended that anti-obesity drugs only be prescribed for obesity where it is hoped that the benefits of the treatment outweigh its risks!.
Side effects
Some anti-obesity drugs have severe and often life-threatening side effects!. (See, for example, Fen-phen!.) These side effects are often associated with their mechanism of action!. In general, stimulants carry a risk of high blood pressure, faster heart rate, palpitations, closed-angle glaucoma, drug addiction, restlessness, agitation, and insomnia!.
Another drug, Orlistat, blocks absorption of dietary fats, and as a result may cause oily spotting bowel movements (steatorrhea), oily stools, stomach pain, and flatulence!. A similar medication, designed for patients with Type 2 diabetes, is Acarbose which partially blocks absorption of carbohydrates in the small intestine, and produces similar side effects including stomach pain, and flatulence

in short Never ever go for any type of Diet pills or any drug which claim that it will reduce the weight quickly!. Taking Diet pills will kill u!.
