A healthy diet, regular exercises are essentials for a healthy life and good looks. But in some situations, certain people simply need the help of medication to overcome difficulties. For some people, prescription weight loss drugs may help.

These medications are not for everyone and by no means do you mean that you should stop exercising and keep a diet. Medicines are prescribed exclusively by a doctor. He can prescribe them only if your BMI is 30 or higher, or if it’s at least 27 and you have a condition that may be related to your weight, like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
