Weight loss has become one of the most critical issues of the current society. People are obsessed to loosing weight and are ready to try anything and everything. They want to look smart and beautiful, the sweat less way. That is no exercise, no control on diet. Everyone wants magic and thus they all consider weight loss medications to be magic pills that would cure them of all their obesity issues and that too without loosing a sweat; at least that’s how advertisers put it. People are easily lured by a beautiful and perfect body and are entrapped into believing that they would be experiencing wonders.
But that is just not the case with prescription drugs. Though they are tested and approved, they too have their harmful affects. They too can guarantee weight loss for only a temporary period and not for very long term period of above six months or one year.

Brands And Generic Names For Medication
Generic names thus are the technical names for the people related to field of medicine. For end-level consumer, trade names are there to help him/her remember what drug does what.
The trade name is developed by the company requesting approval for the drug and identifies it as the exclusive property of that company. For example, phenytoin is the generic name and Dilantin is a trade name for the same drug. When a drug is under patent protection, the company markets it under its trade name. When the drug becomes off-patent (no longer protected by patent), the company may market its product under either the generic name or the trade name. Other companies may sell the off-patent drug with the approved generic name from the company which holds the rights, and possibly different trade names.
