All weight loss medications require that you diet and exercise to achieve results. Now... if you have to diet and exercise anyway, and diet and exercise comes without side effects (other than a better body and overall health), why are you taking the medication? Also, after you stop taking an appetite suppressant, if you have not developed better eating habits, your weight will return rapidly, usually with a few extra pounds. Before taking a weight loss medication, speak with your doctor about a visit to a nutritionist or dietician to develop a healthy eating plan that will help you lose weight and keep it off. site map	Purpose: Mazindol is used to control appetite and reduce weight in obese people.
