Recently, Canadian researchers presented a report
related to obesity problem at International Congress in Sydney,
Australia. According to their report, Xenical diet drug can help
in reducing the obesity problem of teenagers. The researchers said,
teenager loses an average weight of five pounds in a year after
using Xenical diet drugs.
In their study with Xenical diet drug for obese teenagers, the
researchers found an average weight loss of 5 pounds in a year and
in some cases average weight loss was up to 16 pounds in a year.
Professor Jean-Pierre Chanoine, head of the Endocrinology and Diabetes
Unit at British Columbia Children's Hospital in Vancouver said,
"The significant benefits seen in adolescents who respond early
also provide a useful predictor for long-term treatment success".
He also said that "The problem of adolescent obesity has reached
alarming levels, with dire health consequences and it's reassuring
to know we have a safe and effective treatment option with Xenical".
The researchers also suggested that "Xenical was shown to
significantly improve quality of life with greater improvements
in physical appearance, social acceptance, athletic competence and
self-worth,"
The Food and Drug Administration approved only Xenical diet drug
for the treatment of teenager obesity and its other version diet
drug named Alli is waiting for approval in USA.
Really it is the good news for the US teenagers. But, at this we
cannot say much more things about the newer version of the diet
drug Alli.
