Why? Because nobody likes dieting.  That is why everyone was very excited when a new anti obesity drug named Tesofensine appeared on the market. But what does this drug do?

Tesogfensine is a serotonine/noradrenaline/dopamine reuptake inhibitor.  In plain words this drug increases mediator’s concentration in our brain. Its mechanism of action looks similar to Prozac and other antidepressant medications. This reminds me of a very important fact – that the most of our serotonin is made in our gut.

From this, we can conclude the following: instead of taking another magic pill from the pharmaceutical company, you’re better of eating the right food and exercising to loose weight.  If you don’t want to do this, then you’re going to spend a lot of money for the pharmaceutical ’s sake!

Another important thing to remember is this: the long-term effects are unknown.  Chantix is an example of a drug that causes unwanted mood changes!

The bottom line: the natural approach to loosing weight is always better, pills? not always.
