An obese person can also think of a treatment option for obesity in the form of diet pills. Weight loss therapy can also be opted in the form of diet pills, which are a other kind of variant in the weight loss pills. Indication for use of diet pills is obesity but it should not be self prescription in any case. The use of diet pills and their abuse just nearly overlap. Any kind of misusage can result in life threatening situation as diet pills have intensified side-effects.

When we talk about the therapy of a medical condition or problem we usually talk in terms of medication of that organic or in organic problem. No doubt in case of weight loss the word “therapy” does not means medication only , it also includes diet intake modification, weight loss surgery, behavior modification and proper physical activity. But as is the case with other diseases general perception about the treating obesity is once again medication in forms of pills and capsules. Large over the counter sales of weight loss drugs in the form of pills and capsules is boosting pharmaceutical industry with each growing day. Whether these pills work or not it is a different issue. But complex of obesity is being cashed in every possible way.

Market is litered with many over-the-counter and prescription weight loss medications including diet pills, food suplements and various herbal weight loss products. Some are "natural" herbal or vitamin & mineral based products, others are complex pharmaceutical chemicals.

My personnel opinion is that all these medications should be avoided at as far as possible, and should be used as second option choices. Some people may sat that if an option is available why not avail it. These effects of any weight loss medication is usually assessed on two grounds safety and effectiveness.

The increasing need of losing weight is being cashed by the ever expanding “Weight loss industry”. The weight loss industry has reached 100 billion $ only in USA.
