Are prescription diet pills safer?
Though better regulated by your physician and clinical studies, prescription diet pills can be as dangerous as over-the-counter pills and many of the same side effects are evident. In addition, with prescription diet pills, accidental overdose is a possibility. Also, both prescription and non-prescription diet pills can interact with other medications you are taking. These interactions can be dangerous. If you are given prescription diet pills, be sure your physician closely monitors your weight loss and watches for any adverse side effects caused by the pills.
