A Brief Guide to Adipex Weight Loss Results

People who are morbidly obese and have trouble losing weight through diet and exercise alone may be prescribed Adipex for weight loss. The efficacy of this drug will vary from person to person. Adipex weight loss cannot be achieved by taking the drug by itself. In order to achieve Adipex weight loss results, a diet and exercise regimen must supplement it.

If you are considering taking Adipex for weight loss, you must consult a physician. It is not legal to attempt Adipex weight loss without a prescription. When meeting with a doctor, the professional must review your medical history before determining whether you are likely to achieve Adipex weight loss results. If a history of addiction or drug abuse is present in your family, a physician is unlikely to prescribe Adipex for weight loss.

When embarking on this course of treatment, your Adipex weight loss treatment will take the form of a 37.5 milligram tablet. The drug should be taken in the morning with or without food.

In some cases, a physician may decide that Adipex weight loss will be better served by ingesting two pills of a half dose. In any case, you should never exceed your prescription guidelines when embarking on a course of Adipex for weight loss. By abusing or exceeding your prescribed dose, the risk of developing an addiction during the course treatment becomes very real.

Apidex treatment should not exceed 12 weeks. Adipex weight loss results are diminishing; the results decrease as your body gets acclimated to the drug. Additionally, it is vital to ensure that Adipex for weight loss does not become habit-forming. Consult with a medical professional if you notice any adverse effects, ranging in severity from insomnia to potentially fatal hypertension in your lungs. It is important to monitor your body’s response and report any irregularities to your medical professional.

It is not possible to predict how much weight you will lose during the course of taking Adipex for weight loss. To ensure maximum efficiency, you must maintain your exercise and diet regimen as prescribed by your doctor. If you do not receive expected Adipex weight loss results, you will not be able to pursue litigation. Prescription medication works successfully for most patients if they stay regimented and dedicated.

If; however, you are medically damaged while taking Adipex for weight loss, it may be possible to pursue litigation. Litigation is initiated to secure a monetary settlement to offset the costs associated with developing the adverse reaction. To file an effective claim you must be able to prove negligence on the part of your doctor or the drug’s manufacturer. Be sure to gather all medical records relating to your Adipex incident/side effect. Lawyers will need to examine these documents to solidify the link between your damage and ingestion of the pill.

How to buy Adipex online

Designed to help morbidly obese people lose weight in combination with diet and exercise, the prescription medication Adipex can be expensive to purchase. Finding a legitimate source for the purchase of Adipex online is not a simple process. The bulk of online pharmacies are not legitimate or located overseas—both should be avoided. It is not advisable to try to buy Adipex online without guidance from your physician.

There are several reasons you may wish to purchase this drug over the internet. It may be possible to find a cheaper price for Adipex online than you are able to find in your area. It is important to find out how much your insurance policy will cover for use of this drug. Depending on your coverage, you may not have to worry about determining how to buy Adipex online.

If local pharmacies are too expensive or not readily accessible, you should consult with your physician about cheaper alternatives. A doctor may be able to recommend a reliable service for Adipex online. Pharmacies which sell medication over the internet should be registered with the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. Any pharmacy which you are considering as a source to buy Adipex online should not sell you this medication without a prescription from a physician. Selling medication to those without a prescription is illegal.

Do not seek out Adipex online from pharmacies which are not based in the United States. Such businesses may not be legitimate. If you buy Adipex online from a pharmacy based in another country, you cannot be sure that you are receiving what you paid for. These companies are also not subject to American regulatory practices. Should you be harmed as the result of obtaining Adipex online from a foreign source, you are unlikely to be able to sue for compensation.

It is illegal to attempt to obtain this medication without a prescription. When you buy Adipex online without medical guidance, you risk your health as well as legal action. Taking this action is a criminal offense. Purchasing Adipex online without a prescription means you risk criminal prosecution if discovered. Additionally, you may be the victim of credit card fraud or unauthorized charges. If this is the case when you buy Adipex online without a prescription, you are unlikely to be able to take legal action to recover this money.

Patients who are harmed by treatment after the purchase of Adipex online may be able to sue for damages assuming they have followed a physician's guidelines. In the unlikely event that a legitimate provider has shipped defective or harmful medication, they can be sued for their negligence. However, the general target for a lawsuit stemming from harmful effects if you buy Adipex online will be the manufacturer of the drug.

In order to litigate over effects related to the purchase of Adipex online, you must maintain copies of all physician reports. These will be essential for a lawyer to demonstrate a direct link between adverse effects and your consumption of the drug.

Eschscholzia Californica (California poppy or gold poppy)

Overview

Eschscholzia californica (California poppy or gold poppy) is the state flower of California.  According the Department of Agriculture, the plant grows in the Spring, Summer, and Fall and reaches a height of about 1.2 feet at maturity. 

The seeds of the plant can produce sedative-like feelings, but the poppy falls into a different class of alkaloids than poppies used in strong narcotics. 

The USDA states that the Eschscholzia californica (California poppy or gold poppy) is an invasive species.  Currently, the plant is found in Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.  The plant is also found in six different parts of Canada. 

Legal Issues Connected to Eschscholzia californica (California poppy or gold poppy)

In some states, it is illegal to cut down the state flower regardless if it falls on public or private land.  However, it is not illegal to cut down the state flower in California unless it falls on public lands or along state or county roads. 

The law concerning the removal of the state flower, and any other plants for that matter, is referenced in California Penal Code Section 384a.  The penal code is paraphrased below:

“Every person who within the State of California willfully or negligently cuts, destroys, mutilates, or removes any tree or shrub, or fern or herb or build or cactus or flower, or huckleberry or redwood greens, or portion. . .growing upon state or county highway rights-of-way [excluding highway employees]. . .[or] growing upon public land or upon land not his or her own. . .is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine or not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than six months, or by both fine and imprisonment.”

In order to cut down and/or remove plants and tree from private property, the owner of the property must provide written and signed consent to the person removing the plants.  The same applies on public lands.  In order to remove plants along public highways or on public land, the person or entity must receive written consent from the government body. 

Medicinal Uses of Eschscholzia californica (California poppy or gold poppy)

According to the Florida Museum of Natural History, Native Americans have used the plant throughout history as a cosmetic, to kill lice, and even relieve mild pain and treat insomnia.  As of 2005, there were still pharmacological studies concerning the plant according to the Florida Museum of Natural History. 

The plant is still used as a recreational drug in some circles, and the federal government does not control the use of the plant.  As mentioned before, the plant does have relaxing qualities if ingested, but the effects are mild compared to pharmaceutical opiates.

On November 7, 2012, the Department of Justice reported that two Pakistani nationals were indicted by a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia for operating websites that shipped illegal pharmaceuticals into the United States from Pakistan and the United Kingdom.  The two defendants are Sheikh Waseem Ul Haq and Tahir Saeed.  

The indictment shows that Ul Haq and Saeed operated and owned Waseem Enterprises and Harry’s Enterprises in Pakistan.  The two men are believed to have shipped about $2 million of illegal pharmaceuticals around the world and about $780,000 to the United States.  

The two defendants made U.S. customers submit payments by Western Union to people in Karachi, Pakistan so they could conceal the funds.  They also told U.S. citizens that U.S. customs officials may intercept the packages as they enter the United States.  

The illegal drugs include the following:

•    alprazolam (labeled as Xanex)
•    diazepam (labeled as Valium)
•    lorazepam (labeled as Ativan)
•    clonazepam (labeled as Klonapin)
•    numerous types of anabolic steroids and other controlled substances

The defendants are charged with conspiring to import illegal pharmaceuticals to the United States, conspiring to distribute controlled substances, conspiracy to using misbranded pharmaceuticals, importing and distributing controlled substances, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.  

The two defendants each face 20 years in prison for each count of the importing and exporting conspiracy, as well as 20 years in prison for the money laundering charge.  They face more time with other charges as well.  

Stuart F. Delery, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division, stated: “This prosecution aims to curb the flow of dangerous drugs into the hands of United States citizens.  The drugs allegedly sold by the defendants were not approved for distribution in the United States, were not dispensed by U.S. licensed pharmacies, and were not prescribed by any physician.”

On November 2, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Xarelto (rivaroxaban) to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolisms (PE), as well as to reduce the risk of DVT and PE after a surgery or treatment.  

DVT is a serious type of clot that occurs when blood thickens in a deep vein of the body.  These types of clots are most common in the lower leg and the thigh and are extremely dangerous if they break off.  They can travel to an artery in the lungs and can restrict blood flow—possibly leading to the PE which is deadly.  

The drug was already approved by the FDA and used after knee and hip replacement surgeries.  The drug was also used to reduce the risk of stroke in people with an irregular heartbeat called non-valvular atrial fibrillation.  

Richard Pazdur, M.D., states: “Xarelto is the first oral anti-clotting drug approved to treat and reduce the recurrence of blood clots since the approval of warfarin nearly 60 years ago.  Pazdur is the director of the Office of Hematology and Oncology Products at the Drug Evaluation and Research Center for the FDA.  

Other drugs that are approved to reduce the risk of blood clots include the following: Lovenox (enoxaparin), generic enoxaparin, Arixtra (fondaparinux), Fragmin (dalteparin), Coumadin (warfarin), and heparin.  

In clinical studies, only about 2.1 percent of patients taking Xarelto and 1.8 percent to 3 percent of patients taking enoxaparin and other combinations had a recurrent DVT or PE.  A specific study showed that 1.3 percent of patients taking Xarelto had a recurrent DVT or PE compared to 7.1 percent of patients taking a placebo.  

The main side effect of Xarelto is bleeding or uncontrolled bleeding.  These side effects are common with anti-clotting medicine.
