So what makes this new diet pill so special?
It's the first one approved by the FDA.
Now, personally, I have never used diet pills just because I've heard of all the side effects. There are also so many out there. However, this one is approved by the FDA, the first one ever.
How it works is an interesting concept, absorbing fat and then having it leave the body in a natural manner. However, like with many drugs there are side effects to think about and certain people can't use it.
The important thing that most people forget is that this pill should be INCLUDED with healthy eating and exercise not IN PLACE of those things.
I am fairly certain that since this new pill has been FDA approved, there will be a lot of people who will want to try it. It might help, but I think eating healthy and exercising are more important.

Hey Beth,
I think other pills have been approved before. This one is special because you don't have to get a prescription.
The side effects of this drug are pretty nasty:
* oily, spotting BMs
* gas with discharge
* urgent need to have a BM
* oily or fatty stools
* an oily discharge
* increased number of BMs
* inability to control BMs
* orange or brown color of a BM
* stomach pain
* irregular menstrual periods
from MedlinePlus
These pills are similar to others but due to their easy availability it makes them different from all other pills.
And yes the pills have side effects that sound pretty bad.
Hmm... Being overweight, or having loose stools?
The choice on this would should be clear. I'm curious to see if people respond with their wallets.
It is so hard to approve a diet pill because of all the possible side effects, both considered and unconsidered. One of the most interesting things to me is how do they target the fat you want to get rid of? For example, fat surrounding nerve cells promotes speed of impulse transmission. You don't want to get rid of that kind of fat...
There is a lot that people don't think about. They just think it is a quick way to lose weight.
