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.
Do I need to diet while taking
Reductil?
Reductil aids weight loss by helping you
control how much you eat. Combining this with a
healthy diet should facilitate weight loss. You
should not be dependant upon Reductil for
weight loss, this requires a change in attitude
and habit. Just ensure that you always eat
sensibly and healthily when using Reductil.
Do I need to exercise to aid weight
loss?
Ideally everyone should exercise, as it is
necessary for a healthy lifestyle. Increasing
your levels of physical activity in any way,
however great or small, is good for you and
will help you to reach your dietary goal.
Should I take vitamin
supplements?
Any supplements should be discussed with your
doctor. Reductil should not be used in
conjunction with other weight loss programmes.
A healthy diet generally precludes the need for
vitamin supplements.
Are there any side effects of
Reductil?
There are links between weight loss drugs and
cardiac valve dysfunction. In tests around 3%
of those tested were found to have heart valve
disease. If you have any concerns surrounding
this consult your doctor.
Other side effects were: insomnia,
constipation, dry mouth, headaches, increased
blood pressure and an increase in heart rate.
These symptoms are usually not severe and do
not necessarily prevent the use of Reductil.
Should you notice any unfamiliar symptoms
consult your doctor. These symptoms can be any
of the above or the following.
Symptoms:
Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath,
chest pain, angina, heart rate over 100 beats a
minute or irregular heart beat, muscle
rigidity, fevers, painful eyes, stomach pains,
nausea, vomiting, restlessness,
light-headedness, feeling disorientated,
feeling depressed, feeling mentally
confused.
Will this increase my heart and blood
pressure?
Reductil can increase blood pressure in some
patients. It is for this reason that Reductil
cannot be prescribed to anyone with a history
of blood pressure or heart complications
without a thorough review by a doctor.

medication?
