What is Reductil?
Reductil is a satiety enhancer. Its active ingredient is sibutramine hydrochloride.
Reductil blocks the nerve cells that release and reabsorb serotonin. This means
serotonin levels increase. These act in the brain and enhance feelings of fullness so
that you eat less and consequently lose weight.
Your doctor will decide whether Reductil is suitable for you. It will only be
prescribed if your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 30 or more or your BMI is 27 or more and
you have other weight-related health problems.

when using Reductil.
