Reply With QuoteI'm not quite sure since I don't have much dealings with them (i prefer excercise and dieting) but I think they prescribe stuff like the phen-fen (when it was legal), now it's meridia, xenical, wellbutrin, topomax ( the last two are antidepressant/seizure meds that can induce weight loss), certain hormones, thyroid, growth hormones etc. Some of the better ones actually check you out and make sure nothing else is going on (one wt loss clinic referred a patient who they thought had cushing's disease ...which can cause weight gain... and they were right.)

Phentermine, sibutramine, and orlistat all seem to be commonly prescribed weight loss meds.
