Obesity is a serious problem in the United States, and various methods and strategies for losing excess weight have become more and more popular. In addition to the multitude of diet and exercise programs available to consumers, new drugs that promote weight loss are constantly being developed and marketed. While some of these drugs can contribute to healthy weight loss, there are many risks involved in their use and abuse.
