Common situation! It seems there were not more sweet not fond without measure. And the rhythm of the former. A hard scales show an increase. What's the matter? Pay attention to the medications that you are taking on the advice of a physician. Some of them may be the reason of completeness.
There are drugs that slows down psychomotor reactions: sometimes we do not even notice that it becomes sluggish and move less. Also medicine can seriously influence the metabolic processes in the body. Under their influence the metabolic regime can be reversed, metabolism It may slow down. As a result, the weight and volume of the body increases.
Some drugs provoke active production in the body ghrelin - the hormone of hunger . Influenced Ghrelin Hunger is felt particularly acutely, but the desire to eat becomes very strong: all thoughts at this moment are concentrated only on food. This appetite sometimes goes out of control: a person eats everything, often does not feel satiety and could not stop.
The complexity of the situation is that the reaction to the medication can not be predicted - it all depends on the susceptibility of the organism, and it is all different. Therefore, prescribing physician, could not immediately tell his patient recover from prescribing or not. Individual tolerance - a phenomenon from which we can expect any surprises. For example, you may find that a particular person had a drug side effects, although previously no side effects from the drug were found.
The drugs on which fattening
Antidepressants . Obesity is on the background of depression threatens to turn into a typical disease of the XXI century. Doctors know that some antidepressants give such side effects as increased appetite. The problem is that in recent years there was a lot of new products. Doctors do not physically have time to study the side effects of each.
It is known that lead to weight gain antidepressants Belonging to the class of neurochemical serotonin. During the reception preparations containing lithium, you can dial up to 1 kg per month. And if taking tricyclic drugs - up to 4 kg per month.
Usually, after the patient's complaints on excess weight doctors replace one drug or another, reduce the dose. But sometimes it is necessary to revise the entire treatment regimen under the supervision of qualified endocrinologists or neuropsychology.
Antihistamines, sedatives . Some media against allergies and sleep disorders contain diphenhydramine. This substance can cause muscle weakness, man becomes apathetic, his physical activity decreases. But appetite, on the other hand, may increase.
Steroids . These drugs are used in the treatment of rheumatic pain, arthritis. Under the influence of steroids fat cells divide faster and require for their increased activity of extra calories. This increases the body's need for food.
Drugs, normalizes blood pressure . They can give side effects in the form of a general feeling of fatigue, reducing tone (in addition, these drugs increase the leaching of calcium from the body). With the loss of energy the body tends to make up for it by eating, and as a result grow fat reserves.
Psychotropic drugs . Drugs from the category of psychotropic lower metabolic rate and stimulate the appetite. Sometimes patients get better on the 2, 5 kg per week.
Is there a way out?
The situation is like a vicious circle. According to the WHO in recent years people have become more likely to suffer from heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes and depression - diseases caused by hormonal disorders. Against disease prescribe medicine . But because of the side effects of these drugs appears unnecessary completeness and even obesity, which in turn are themselves instigators of a number of diseases, for example, the same diabetes, hypertension. According to statistics, about 25% of women get better as a result of receiving their assigned drugs.
What to do?
Some experts believe that, first of all, people need to be more attentive to her. Yes, the doctor prescribes medicine, but their individual response to a patient knows best. To maintain a healthy weight, you need to listen to yourself, to monitor the state of his body. For example, if the drug was prescribed, to start regularly weighed in the morning. Sharply increased appetite and excess of 2 kg, which appeared after the start of medication - is a serious reason to see a doctor. Probably, thus affecting the drug side effects.
If you feel a loss of energy, drink the infusion of rose hips, multivitamins, and - again - to the doctor. By the way, a specialist can advise a tool that will help stop the leaching of calcium from the body.
When problems have arisen after taking the drugs, a doctor should be sure to talk about alternatives. Perhaps he will recommend medications without affecting the metabolism or, for example, funds that do not contain steroids.
