Can I lose weight by taking lipid-lowering pills?


Can I lose weight by taking lipid-lowering drugs? No, you can't, because western medicines are antagonistic and have side effects. To lose weight, I suggest you to use Dok Seng Pills.

Dosheng Pills are pills made of ground rhubarb. It is effective in aiding digestion, increasing appetite, strengthening the spleen and harmonizing the stomach. It can be used for weak stomach, weak spleen, poor digestion and absorption, loss of appetite, fullness in the epigastric region, loose stools, muscle wasting or abnormal obesity.

There is a woman, obese, less than 1,60 meters tall, weighing 182 pounds, high blood lipids, the service of a single saint pill for two months, weight loss of 20 pounds, blood lipids return to normal.

Hyperlipidemia is common today and can adversely affect human health with high laboratory parameters of total cholesterol, LDL-C, triglycerides or low HDL-C. Common causes include hereditary, i.e., caused by single or multiple gene defects in receptors, enzymes, or abnormalities in apolipoproteins involved in lipoprotein transport and metabolism, lifestyle-related, i.e., eating a high-fat, high-energy diet, or secondary to other disorders, such as nephrotic syndrome, hypothyroidism, and so on. In this case it is necessary to take lipid-lowering drugs to lower total cholesterol, LDL-C, and triglycerides. However, lipid-lowering drugs do not have the effect of weight loss. Lipid-lowering drugs are mainly of the following types:

1. Hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGL-CoA) inhibitors: statins. Commonly used are simvastatin, pravastatin, fluvastatin. These drugs can inhibit hepatic synthesis of cholesterol and increase the synthesis of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors to promote the degradation of LDL and reduce blood lipid concentrations.

2. Niacin and phenoxyaromatic acids: These include nicotinic acid, nicotinamide, inositol nicotinate, tocopherol nicotinate, acyclovir, fenofibrate and gemfibrozil. These drugs mainly affect lipid synthesis, metabolism and clearance.

3. Bile acid-binding resins: Kauretenamine (cholestyramine), Kauretipo (cholestyramine). Their action is mainly to affect cholesterol and bile acid absorption.

4. Antioxidant drugs: Probucol (isobutol) has a strong antioxidant effect with antioxidant effect and lipid regulation, can block lipid peroxidation, reduce the production of lipid peroxides, reduce cholesterol synthesis and promote cholesterol decomposition so that the blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein to reduce, slowing down the series of atherosclerotic lesions.

However, weight loss belongs to the behavioral approach aimed at reducing excessive body fat and weight. That is, behavioral science is used to analyze the characteristics of eating behavior and the type of exercise of obese people, as a basis for rational modification of the actions that lead to obesity. Weight loss methods are directly or indirectly around the calorie as the center, the effective indicators for calorie reduction, health indicators for the protection of basal metabolism, sustained indicators for appetite control in the sense of satiety and satisfaction. So eating lipid-lowering drugs and weight loss can not be discussed together, if you want to lose weight, it is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables, less greasy, high-calorie food, more sports, more exercise.

I hope the above answer can help you.

It can be answered quite unequivocally that it cannot!

What are lipid-lowering drugs for? Lipid-lowering drugs are medications that lower blood lipid levels, specifically for people with high blood cholesterol, high cholesterol, diabetes mellitus and related cardiovascular disease risks. Lowering blood lipids and reducing lipids when losing weight are two completely different concepts, the former is the flow of lipids in the blood vessels, the latter is the inherent fat in the organs and tissues. Lipid-lowering drugs do not have the effect of weight loss, the normal abuse of lipid-lowering drugs will also appear many side effects, such as myalgia, muscle weakness, abdominal discomfort, vomiting, digestive tract symptoms.

Speaking of fat-lowering drugs to lose weight, here is also a passing reference to sugar-lowering drugs to lose weight. Glucose-lowering drug metformin for obese patients with type 2 diabetes has a weight loss effect, so many obese people began to think about it, that is not possible to eat metformin to lose weight? Cannot! Metformin does not have the exact weight loss effect on ordinary people, people with normal blood sugar eat metformin, it is easy to have gastrointestinal adverse reactions, nausea and regurgitation, vomiting and diarrhea.

So we should be sensible to lose weight and not blindly take some medicines that are not right for you. If you find it difficult to control your diet and exercise, it is difficult to adhere to, then you may want to try some meal replacements, such as some high-fiber nutrition bars, konjac food, grains and cereals powder, pure oats and so on. These meal replacements are relatively low-calorie, satiety, can better control calories, help to lose weight.

I hope this answer helps, remember to like it!

Thanks for the invite, can't! This really doesn't go together, lowering blood lipids doesn't mean losing fat, it can't be confused because it's not possible for someone with high blood lipids who is also very fat to lose weight after taking a lipid pill, there's no necessary connection between the two!

There are friends a person even if obese but not necessarily high blood fat, this and the body's metabolic level also has a lot to do with, so if you do not have high blood fat, take lipid-lowering drugs will be very dangerous behavior! If you are overweight body fat is also high, then it is good to eat the first lipid-lowering drugs, but also good exercise!

Because only exercise plus effective diet control can stop you from being obese!

If you can effectively keep up with the amount of exercise, it is also very helpful for your blood lipids, especially it is recommended to combine aerobic and anaerobic exercise to exercise! This way you can lose weight and increase your basal metabolism at the same time!

Thank you for the official invitation to Wukong Q&A

Honestly, seeing this question scared me. Would you rather have to sacrifice your health in order to be thin?

First of all, "fat reduction" and "fat loss" are two completely different concepts!

lipid lowering-Lowering is lipids, lowering the level of triglycerides or cholesterol within the blood plasma and keeping blood vessels open.

fat loss-Loss of fat, reduce the body fat content, accelerate fat decomposition, to achieve the purpose of slimming.

Through fat reduction can achieve a certain fat-lowering purpose, that is, after losing weight to a certain extent in favor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. However, fat reduction through drugs can not achieve the purpose of fat reduction at all.

More on lipid-lowering drugs

define--Drugs that lower plasma triglycerides or lower plasma cholesterol.

Principles of medication--The causes and categories of hyperlipidemia are different, and so are the medications. Even patients with hyperlipidemia should first take general measures such as controlling diet, increasing exercise, etc., and only consider medication if it is ineffective, and need to determine the etiology of the cause of the disease to rationalize the use of medication, so blindly using lipid-lowering drugs to lose weight is nonsense.

Hyperlipidemic patients are forced to use medications as a last resort, are you sure you want to use them voluntarily?

There are many side effects of lipid-lowering drugs:

1. Lipid-lowering drugs that affect the excretion of cholesterol and bile acids through the bile and feces will saturate or supersaturate cholesterol in the bile and make it easy to form gallstones.

2. Long-term use of the drug will lead to a decrease in liver detoxification, causing bloating, diarrhea, constipation, headache, insomnia, rash, elevated aminotransferases, numbness of the limbs, skin allergies and other problems.

3. It can cause gastrointestinal reactions with symptoms such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, anorexia, bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain or intestinal obstruction.

4. Increase the burden on the kidneys, drug residues are excreted through the kidneys, and a large amount of drugs accumulate in the kidneys, affecting kidney function.

If you want to lose weight, you need to be in the right frame of mind:

1. Reasonable control of diet: calorie intake is greater than the output of the human body is the cause of obesity, so the diet must be controlled to reduce high-fat, high-calorie, high-sugar food intake. Reasonable control of calorie intake per meal. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

2. Strengthen the movement: exercise is an essential part of weight loss, choose your favorite, easy to adhere to the movement, every day to ensure that the movement more than half an hour.

3. Persistence: weight loss is not three or five days to see results, must be determined to adhere to. Because of the individual physique is different, so the speed of weight loss is not the same, may have to last a year and a half. Most people are defeated in the failure to adhere to.

Lastly, I would like to emphasize that you should never do something stupid just to be thin, and that your health is the most important thing!
