Reductil

Reductil (sibutramine) is an appetite-suppressant that affects the centers in your brain responsible for causing the feeling of hunger. By combining Reductil with a healthy diet you will achieve better results and will be able to maintain your progress. Unless your health care provider prescribed otherwise, Reductil must be taken with some food or without once a day. It's very important to remember to take Reductil, which is why you are recommended to do it at the same time every day. This way you will be able to avoid missing doses. Since Reductil can cause addictions, you are not recommended to take it for longer than prescribed. Doing otherwise can result in withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop the treatment and side effects that will be worse than they could otherwise be. You will be probably started on a low dosage of Reductil that will later be increased to suit your individual needs. The dosage is usually increased only after the first 4 weeks, during which you are also supposed to lose at least 4 pounds. Do not increase the dosage even if the weight loss stated does not occur and talk to your health care provider about the options you have.

If you stop losing weight after 6 months of the treatment keep on taking this drug anyway to maintain the progress. Make sure you talk to your doctor about the possibility of combining Reductil with any medications you are taking at the moment. The following side effects do not have to be reported to your health care provider unless they become more severe: flushing, flu-like symptoms, constipation, back pain, heartburn, weakness, runny nose, and headache. Report to your health care provider the fact or ever being diagnosed with any of the following conditions: glaucoma, migraine headaches, gallstones, depression, bleeding problems, stroke, eating disorder, irregular heart beat, seizures, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, cancer, kidney, liver, or thyroid disease, congestive heart failure, a heart attack, or chest pain.
