In today 's society weight loss and health has become increasingly popular and more of a part of life. There are many forms of assistant programs and drugs that promote a healthy way of living and there are also programs and drugs that are a jump-start way to lose weight. Some programs encourage a natural approach by food intake and calorie taking and some give prescription medication to help suppress an appetite and lose the fat quicker. Obesity is one of the biggest diseases in the United States and just like most diseases there are pharmaceutical drugs and advances made to assist in monitoring and controlling weight. One drug that has been popular for some time is Phentermine that is a weight loss medication that has had a lot of history of concern, has some mild risks. and is a short-time option.
Phentermine is cheaper version of other weight loss drugs, it is the most common prescription for an appetite suppressant. “The drug is considered a controlled substance and was FDA approved in in 1959 and now made by several manufacturers -- commands 80 percent of the market for diet drugs, according to IMS Health , which tracks prescription drug use” (Thomas). Phentermine was originally in combination as Fen-Phen and was later taken off the market because of its increasing cause of heart valve problems. Now Phentermine is a generic drug that is subscribed and monitored by a physician and was available to stay on the market because it was not the cause of heart valve
To illustrate the magnitude of the research problem and provide a frame of reference, this section begins with a brief overview of the increased use of pharmaceuticals and prescription drug abuse in the US. The section continues with the relationship between illicit drugs and prescriptions, adolescents’ abuse, personal and social factors; then concludes with the theoretical approach. The Social-Ecological Theory, will be applied in researching prescription drug abuse, possible influences and protective factors in adolescents in relation to prescription drug abuse, to develop focused intervention strategies and educational programs for this population, similar to other substances such as tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana.
In 2008, a marketing and positioning strategy was needed for Cambridge Sciences Pharmaceutical’s (CSP) new weight loss drug called Metabical. Metabical was touted as being a revolutionary weight loss drug with fewer negative side effects than the usual medicinal weight loss remedies.
The amount of obese and overweight individuals is increasing every year in the United States. With 33.9% of American adults obese, and 34.4% overweight, but not obese, more and more people are looking for any alternative to lose weight (Anonymous 2011). If someone told you that they knew of a weight loss pill that actually works, would you consider it?
People that improve their health by shedding weight should not endanger their body by purchasing Phentermine online without any prescribed.
Metabical is the first prescription drug approved specifically for overweight individuals (BMI between 25 and 30), those individuals who have weight-loss goals of approximately 10 to 30 pounds; other prescription weight-loss drugs were approved for use in both obese (BMI >30) and severely obese (BMI>40) individuals. Metabical is a dual-layer formulation: the first layer contained an appetite suppressant and
It is no doubt that with every day passed we are lurking after so many unhealthy activities which are making our body a shelter for disease. Conditions like being overweight is the result of some unhealthy eating habits which we have no control on. Diet pills or supplements in this domain are getting popular, most of them are being sold for no reason. When it comes to lose weight health market is soaked with the fake weight loss products which only aims to clean up your wallet and gives you nothing in return. When you buy a diet pill make sure the product is backed up by some scientific research since it will be reacting with your body’s system and you don’t want to engulf anything which you don’t know about.
Unlike the way medication is usually prescribed to clear up a sore throat in a couple days, atypical antipsychotic medication for those with mental illness are usually taken for the remainder of one’s life and if they go off their medication then the psychosis returns. In many cases where the weight gain is overwhelming patients stop the medication because it has now affected their self-esteem (Kabinoff et al.,2003). This paper is going to focus on research done involving the beginning use of atypical medications and their side effects including weight gain and diabetes mellitus as well include strategies in management and prevention. Atypical antipsychotics have great results for those suffering with mental illness but will implementing programs that teach and monitor diet, exercise and lifestyle benefit and decrease the weight gain of patients on medications like Clozapine and Olanzapine?
Since Metabical is a prescription drug for weight loss which can only be bought via a prescription, the overweight patients are not the only decision makers involved. The health care providers are also decision makers in this process for they are the ones who prescribe the drug.
In the United States every year the percentage of deaths related to overdose increases drastically. Heroin is one of the top drugs in the United States used and cause of overdose. There are numerous types of heroin that is being sold on the streets because of different things however I’m talking about heroin in general. This drug has become a nationwide problem and is affecting many families and friendships who have loved addicted to or using heroin. Once addictions get too bad friends and family begin to distant themselves and the person more than likely start to feel alone and the drug is the only thing to comfort them. Abusers go for the drug that is easier to get ahold of rather going after the drug that is difficult to get their hands on. Heroin has become more prevalent in teenagers and young adults than any other drug, kills more people every year and was made to help those addicted to morphine.
The most important thing you should keep in your mind that the right diet plan will always give you the right result. You might think that Phentermine will anyways help you to suppress your appetite, true but if you yourself follow a proper diet plan then that will not only help you to lose weight properly but also will provide you precautions in terms of side effects.
Many psychiatric and psychoactive drugs that are available on the market, pharmaceutically or illegally, closely resemble neurotransmitters and are actually able to mimic it to the extent that it fools the receptors. Basically, these drugs hijack the neurotransmitters. Once these drugs are ingested, it enters into the brain, gets into the synapse and binds itself to the receptor. This then causes the inappropriate release of neurotransmitters and alter the breakdown and recycling of neurotransmitters or can be used to destroy particular neurotransmitters completely (Sapolsky, 2005, p. 14).
Phentermine 37.5 mg belongs to a class of medications otherwise known as amphetamines. It is efficient in lowering your hunger, using fat, managing glucose levels and cravings for food. Many illicit drugs belong to the same classification of medications, but Phentermine 37.5 mg significantly varies from these drugs. Phentermine 37.5 mg is believed to be physically non addictive. Phentermine 37.5 mg works as a hunger or appetite suppressant. Its main purpose is to stimulate the release of brain chemicals that effectively lessen sensations of hunger, making you feel like you do not need to eat at all or that lessens your hunger pangs. However, desperation to lose weight quickly may lead to develop psychological dependence and carries a significant
There are only several other weight-loss options in the market competing with Metabical. The first is prescription drugs. These are prescribed for use only by obese and severely obese individuals. This meant that only individuals with BMI of over 30 who were prescribed weight-loss drugs were using appetite suppressants and fat-absorbing blockers. They had serious side effects associated as well, which meant only a doctor could approve them. But these prescription-drug options did not account for the overweight segment with
Past History: Smokes ½ a pack of cigarettes per day (since she was a teenager)
The health care provider is a vital component in patient decision making and in the success of Metabical. As patients begin to ask their doctors about the drug, CSP needs to ensure that physicians are properly educated about Metabical and its benefits. Additionally, doctors can have significant influence not only over their patients but also over insurance companies and the general public by supporting Metabical and substantiating it’s claims. I would position the drug as a supplement to doctors looking to advocate a healthier lifestyle for their patients. It’s important to use all the different advertising concepts so health care providers are able to understand the different elements of Metabical. It is a clinically proven and FDA approved weight-loss drug that is a safe alternative to dangerous OTC drugs. Doctors now have the ability to empower patients to change unhealthy eating habits and achieve long-term success. The simple once-a-day pill in combination with the comprehensive support program can
