A DIET pill, which may soon become available in Australia, helps obese people shed the kilos and maintain the loss, new research suggests.
But the bad news is that the medication has some unpleasant side-effects, according to the study published in the Medical Journal of Australia.
The single-pill medication is a combination of phentermine, an appetite suppressant, and epilepsy drug topiramate.
The drug was approved in the US for use by obese adults in 2012. A team of researchers at the Austin Hospital in Melbourne tested the drug on 103 patients.
