Leptoprin Dangers

Leptoprin is a weight loss drug that A.G. Waterhouse recommends for substantially overweight individuals who are serious about losing weight. Leptoprin is a stimulant. The non-stimulant form of it is Leptoprin SF. A.G. Waterhouse currently sells a 30-day supply of the weight loss pills for $135.00. They offer a money back guarantee to individuals who have taken the drug for a month and are not satisfied with the results. There are dangers to using Leptoprin and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed a complaint against A.G. Waterhouse.

  1. Function

    • Leptoprin is marketed as a diet aide for individuals who are overweight by at least 20 pounds or have a body mass index (BMI) score of 27 or higher. A.G. Waterhouse, manufacturer of Leptoprin, claims that individuals who take Leptoprin do not have to diet or exercise in order to lose weight. They claim the drug enhances metabolic functions as well as fat-burning ability.

    Side Effects

    • Side effects and dangers from taking Leptoprin include a rapid heart rate, heart palpitations and a rise in blood pressure. Vision disturbances such as blurred or doubled vision have also been documented. Other common side effects include the inability to fall asleep and stay asleep and feeling fatigued throughout the day. Anxiety, restlessness, headache and dry mouth are common side effects from this weight loss drug.

    Warnings

    • Leptoprin has been reported to increase heart rates and blood pressures to dangerous levels. Individuals diagnosed with heart disease or high blood pressure are discouraged from taking this weight loss drug. Seek immediate medical attention if an individual taking Leptoprin experiences hallucinations, memory loss, a drastic change in personality or confusion. Severe allergic reactions such as hives and swelling of the throat, tongue and face may occur. Do not take Leptoprin with antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or insulin. Due to the dangers of Leptoprin's addictive nature, withdrawal from the drug requires medical supervision.

    Considerations

    • A.G. Waterhouse does not list any side effects, warnings or dangers of Leptoprin use on the Leptoprin website. They do not provide a list of ingredients that the drug contains. A.G. Waterhouse does not acknowledge that Leptoprin is an addictive weight loss drug. They provide a report of only one clinical testing trial conducted by Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D.

    Expert Insight

    • The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed a complaint against A.G. Waterhouse. The FTC maintains that the company has made false claims about the effectiveness of Leptoprin and that the company's clinical testing claims are false. The FTC also maintains that Daniel D. Mowrey is not a medical doctor. Because Mowrey is not a medical doctor, the validity of any clinical trials conducted is questionable.
