Leptopril is a non-prescription diet pill marketed for those needing to lose 20+ pounds or with a BMI over 27. It claims to prevent fat formation and sugar absorption while increasing metabolism. Reviews are mixed, and it may aggravate certain health conditions. The FTC has filed a complaint against the manufacturer for false claims.
Leptopril is a non-prescription diet pill manufactured by Generix Laboratories and intended for people who need to lose 20 pounds or more or who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of more than 27. The Leptopril formula appears to contain the same ingredients. and dosage than Leptoprin, an earlier weight loss drug, albeit at a lower price. Leptopril is marketed for both men and women as an “acute metabolic regulator” intended to correct problems caused by a genetic predisposition to being overweight, although how is unclear.
The pill is intended to be taken with the two main meals of the day. It is supposed to prevent fat from forming after a meal and prevent extra sugar from being absorbed into the blood. At the same time, its stimulant component speeds up the metabolism to give the user energy and burn excess fat. The manufacturers say that users of Leptopril in their clinical trials lost more than twice the weight of those who received a placebo. The number of test subjects and the amount of weight lost were not specified.
As with most similar weight loss aids, Leptopril has racked up a large number of positive and negative user reviews. Some people report significant weight loss as promised, while others lose minimal amounts of weight and experience side effects. Generix Laboratories makes it clear that Leptopril is potent and is not intended for dieters who just want to lose a few extra pounds. They also warn people with diabetes, high blood pressure, prostate or heart problems, and those who are sensitive to stimulants that this drug may aggravate those conditions. Self-reported side effects included dizziness, headaches, rapid heartbeat, stomach pains, constipation, and panic attacks.
Several diet pill reviewers have alleged that Generix Laboratories and the identical Leptoprin makers are owned by the same company, and that both products have misrepresented or even completely fabricated clinical trial results. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed a complaint against the company behind Leptopril and other similar weight loss aids, alleging that it has made claims about weight loss and evidence it cannot support, among other concerns. This pill is classified as a dietary supplement and therefore has not been evaluated by the US Food and Drug Administration. Anyone considering taking this or any diet pill should first speak with their doctor to find the safest and most effective way to lose weight.
