What is Diethylpropion and why can it help with weight loss?

Diethylpropion is a valuable tool in the management of obesity and weight control, providing a targeted approach to appetite suppression. As a well-established medication in weight loss treatments, it has assisted many individuals in achieving their weight loss goals by reducing hunger and curbing excessive eating. At The Slimming Clinic, we prescribe weight loss medication like Diethylpropion to support our patients in their weight loss journey. This medication works by acting on the central nervous system to decrease appetite, making it easier to follow a healthy eating plan and reach sustainable weight loss goals.

Diethylpropion is an appetite suppressing tablet medication taken daily as an oral medication. They work centrally in the appetite control centre of the brain to reduce how hungry you feel and make you feel fuller when you eat. They are a class of drug called centrally-acting appetite suppressants and we have been prescribing this type of medication at The Slimming Clinic for over 40 years.

The medication will help you stick to a healthy eating plan by making you feel less hungry during the day, so less prone to snack or graze, and making you feel fuller when you eat, helping to reduce portion size. It is important that you maintain a good number of healthy, balanced calories each day so that you fuel your body to burn the excess body fat you want to lose. Our medication does not, nor would we recommend, that you suppress your appetite completely.

By choosing a medication like Diethylpropion at The Slimming Clinic, you can be assured that your fully qualified online weight loss doctor and medical practitioners will carefully guide you through how appetite suppressants work and how they will aid your personal weight loss journey.

What are the Diethylpropion side effects?

Diethylpropion, like any medication, can come with side effects that may impact daily life. Common side effects include dry mouth, insomnia, nausea, dizziness, constipation, increased heart rate, and feelings of nervousness or restlessness – full list here.

To manage these common Diethylpropion side effects, there are several strategies you can use. For dry mouth, sip water frequently and use sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva production. If insomnia occurs, taking Diethylpropion earlier in the day and establishing a relaxing bedtime routine can help. To alleviate nausea, try eating small, frequent meals and avoid heavy or greasy foods; ginger or peppermint tea can also be soothing. For dizziness, ensure you stay hydrated and avoid sudden changes in position. Constipation can be managed by increasing dietary fiber and drinking plenty of fluids.

If you notice an increased heart rate or feelings of nervousness, it’s important to monitor these symptoms and consult your healthcare provider if they persist or worsen. Adhering to these tips can help mitigate discomfort and improve your overall experience with the medication.
