One of the most popular brands is the Emagrece Sim which is made by Phytotherm Sim. The pills are marketed as being “unique blend of rare and exotic Brazilian herbs grown in the Amazon under very special conditions in order to maximize their beneficial power.” Typically the sales pages for this product never provide any information on what it is actually made of. The company behind much of the marketing is Brazilian Basics, LLC. On their website the ingredients mentioned for Emagrece are Damiana (a Mexican plant), Guarana powder (a compound almost identical to caffeine) and Yerba Mate (shown to reduce obesity in mice with a high fat diet, no evidence of reducing obesity in humans with a high sugar diet though). There is nothing regarding the ingredients of Emagrece Sim on the website. Luckily the FDA have had a look (see below). Brazilian Basics also state that: “our products are not drugs. They are 100% all natural and therefore a prescription is not necessary. All of the ingredients used in Brazilian Basics products are listed on the [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/obesity/brazilian-diet-pills-health-warning/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Chemists to Provide Obesity Pill</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/obesity/chemists-to-provide-obesity-pill</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/obesity/chemists-to-provide-obesity-pill#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:53:16 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Medimise</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Obesity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BMI 28]]></category> <category><![CDATA[diet pill]]></category> <category><![CDATA[GlaxoSmithKline]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Graham Phillips]]></category> <category><![CDATA[orlistat]]></category> <guid
isPermaLink="false">http://www.medimise.com/?p=160</guid> <description><![CDATA[TweetBBC News reported yesterday that a new drug has been developed to tackle the obesity epidemic. The pill will be offered to patients with a BMI of over 28 (i.e. those who are very overweight / borderline obese). The drug which has been licensed to sell over the counter is Orlistat, which actually stops fat from being absorbed into the body. The over the counter version of the weight loss pill will not be as strong as the one prescribed by GP&#8217;s, but it should still help those that are trying to lose weight. However, a word of caution &#8211; patients will still need to make a conscious decision to lose weight, which means that as well as taking the pill, they will have to make an effort to purchase healthier foods and exercise too, otherwise the benefits of Orlistat may be minimal. &#8220;GlaxoSmithKline, who make the pill known commercially as alli, say their clinical trials show that adding Orlistat to a reduced calorie, lower fat diet, can help people lose 50% more weight than dieting alone. But if they persist in eating fat, they will experience some nasty side effects such as diarrhoea and gas problems.&#8221; Source: BBC News.
