Probably worth the read if you are considering or using diet pills, some of these contain controlled substances and/or medications that if you don't know you're taking them could react adversely with prescribed medication. As much as I'd like a quick fix, the fact that manufacturers are sneaking in pharmaceuticals in to uncontrolled "supplements" is a little scary. Yes, they may be "natural" but so are hemlock, progesterone, and digitalis and you don't want to be taking those without medical supervision.

I think most of diet pills are not approved by FDA. Only Alli that has been approved but i don't use them. It's not work for me lol

This is beyond the "not approved" which dietary supplements are not required to be - but they are deemed dangerous because of illegal additives. Huge difference....
