The most commonly used weight loss drugs are as follows:
(1) Drugs that act on the central nervous system and have an appetite-suppressing effect – amphetamine and its derivatives, can suppress the appetite center when acting on the hypothalamus. Usually 5mg each time, two to three times a day, half to one hour before meals. The effective effect of continuous medication can be maintained for 20-24 weeks. Common side effects are dry mouth and insomnia.
(2) Heat-producing drugs, commonly thyroid hormones. Because the thyroid function of simple obese patients is normal, in recent years, some doctors have added thyroid hormones on the basis of strict diet control, which can accelerate the weight loss of obese patients. The dose starts at 30 mg twice a day and gradually increases to 60 mg two to three times a day. Because thyroid hormones have an impact on myocardial function, and obese patients are often accompanied by coronary heart disease, caution should be exercised when using large doses of thyroid hormones.
(3) Drugs that reduce or delay gastrointestinal absorption. At present, there are Shuangmai drugs in clinical application, such as Jiangtangling, Dijiashuangmai, etc. The dosage of the former is 50mg, twice a day, the latter is 500mg, twice a day, and then the dosage is gradually increased until gastrointestinal irritation occurs. Symptoms, or Jiangtangling up to 300mg/B, Jiangtang tablets up to 3000mg/day, but its therapeutic effect is not very sure. In addition, eating 100 grams of celery every day, or drinking slimming tea, taking 20 grams of chrysanthemum for brewing, or eating two raw onions, all have weight loss effects.
