Suggest Over The Counter Medicine For Weight Loss

Yes, many years ago I took an Rx for weight loss, I m not sure this the correct spelling but the pharmacist pronounced it Pledg ene , seems like it was spelled Pledgine , or something like that!! What I wanted to know was is it still made?? STILL an Rx? Has it been changed to an OTC?? I ask because it was so very mild!!!
