Didrex suppresses--or reduces--your appetite. This means it helps you eat less food. When you eat less, you'll have an easier time losing weight. Didrex works best when used as part of an overall weight loss program that includes a healthy, low fat diet and 30 minutes of exercise at least 3 days a week.

Healthy eating and exercise will produce weight loss, but progress can be slow. Didrex can make initial weight loss much quicker, which can give you the motivation you need to stick with your diet and exercise program. So, if you need a little extra help or want to get started more quickly, you can use Didrex to jumpstart weight loss.

After a few weeks, most people become resistant to the effects of Didrex. This is why it is viewed mainly as a "short-term" diet therapy. The goal is to develop better eating and exercise habits as you're losing the initial weight with Didrex. If you stick with these new healthy habits, you're likely to keep losing weight steadily, even though you're no longer taking Didrex.
