Some doctors unscrupulously get it for their patients.

It can be tempting for a doctor who is not earning a good wage to hand out prescriptions for slimming medications to patients who should not really be using them. Ukmedix News has recently come across a case where a doctor was prescribing slimming pills that are banned and dangerous.

The doctor in question Dr Michael Sheill is likely to be taken off the medical register following a General Medical Council meeting in which he was accused of a number misconduct misdemeanors. Dr Michael Sheill was charged with prescribing the drug Phentermine which has been withdrawn in the United States and from Europe. There was a time when Phentermine was a popular weight loss drug but after the death of a number of people around the world from using it, it was recalled from use. Nevertheless some people still want to get their hands on the drug and some doctors unscrupulously get it for their patients.

Phentermine is still available for purchase on the internet and at Ukmedix News we would like to advise all our readers to stay far away from it.  If you have a heart condition or high blood pressure Phentermine could induce heart attacks or a stroke. Phentermine is not the only slimming drug that is dangerous and there are many others. The only weight loss medication to use are Xenical, Reductil and Acomplia as they have all been sanctioned by the EMEA which puts them through extensive clinical testing involving thousands of people over a number of years.

Xenical, Reductil and Acomplia all work in different ways to help people lose weight and thus it is important to discuss any weight loss issues and health issues with a doctor before you use any of them.  At Ukmedix it is possible for people to get an online consultation and discuss any health problems and weight problems with a doctor.
