As a physician trained in the field of obesity medicine, and founder of W8MD medical weight loss centers of America, let me shed some light on what are the proven and most successful medications for fast and effective weight loss!

The most commonly used weight loss medication currently is Phentermine available as (Adipex, Adipex-P, Suprenza, Ionamin) which is a scheduled IV controlled substance prescribed by a appropriately licensed and qualified obesity medicine physician.

However, the best medication might be a combination of two medications such as low dose Phentermine with Topiramate like in the new Qsymia as the appetite center in the brain tends to compensate when you only block one pathway with a single weight loss medication. It does suppress the appetite better a weight loss medication combination such as the Phentermine with Topiramate.

Any of these weight loss medications have to be combined with a Very Low Calorie (VLCD) or Low Calorie Diet (Diet) under careful medical supervision for fast, safe and effective weight loss.

With a combination of 800-1000 calorie VLCD diet with a combination appetite suppressant medication, and correction of other metabolic causes of weight gain, it is possible to lose weight fast and safe at the rate of 1-3 pounds every week!
