The Future Of Dieting
Just like technology, pharmacology is constantly evolving. There is always the new hot drug on the market. Some save lives, some make life more livable, and some help you shed those unwanted pounds without living at the gym. Here is a look at some of the breakthrough pharmaceutical releases set to make their market debut over the next few years.
Pramlintide - Already available in the U.S. as a diabetes treatment, Pramlintide is being studied by Amylin Pharmaceuticals for its ability to produce a feeling of fullness when eating and reduce weight. A synthetic form of a satiety hormone, research has shown that when it’s injected into people’s bodies before a meal they eat less, even when given foods they crave. Amylin is also looking at how the drug works in combination with other hormones.
