The new over the counter pills popularly known as Brazilian
pills are helping people lose a lot of weight but health experts
have found traces of amphetamines in the new drug. The over
the counter pill is advertised as having natural ingredients
but some types show illegal amphetamines. There is a
wide variety of diet pills(phentermine,adipex...)
available in the market to lure the prospective customers:
prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements.
Prescription diet pills are only available with a doctor's
prescription and in this case your physician will monitor
your health and weight loss progress while you are taking
the diet pills.
Over-the-counter (OTC) diet
pills are widely available in your local drugstore, supermarket
or online. OTC diet pills are monitored by the FDA for efficacy
and product claims. Most OTC diet pills work by increasing
your energy while boosting the metabolism.
Tests of some versions, which are possibly counterfeits,
show they contain amphetamines that are causing unsuspecting
users to flunk pre-employment drug tests. The presence of
amphetamines in these magical pills causes metabolism to speed
up and burn more calories.
The Brazilian weight
loss pills guarantee rapid weight loss but have life threatening
side effects. The pills amount to $200 for a month's supply
and it is a rave amongst the people in Brazil. These pills
are easily available on internet sites and can be bought without
any restraints. Health experts in Brazil are studying the
pill in order to ensure safety to the patients who end up
using it.
Dietary supplements are regulated by the FDA. The standards
for dietary supplements are not the same as those for FDA
regulated drugs. Talk to your doctor before taking any dietary
supplement.
Not all Brazilian pills are problematic. A variety called
Emagrece Slim, being sold in a kiosk at Miami International
Mall, was tested Friday afternoon by Miami toxicologist Terry
Hall. It showed no amphetamines or tranquilizers.
