Reductil is a satiety-enhancer. It makes you feel fuller quicker by regulating the action of appetite-influencing chemical messengers in the brain. Reductil should be used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet. Taking more exercise is also recommended.
Sibutramine Reductil belong to the class of drugs known as serotonin reuptake inhibitors – medications that work by inhibiting the reabsorption of serotonin in the brain. It is basically an anti-obesity medication.
Reductil prevents two neurotransmitters – noradrenaline and serotonin from being reabsorbed after they have been released in the brain. This creates a feeling of satiety in a person even when he/she has eaten little. People who have difficulty keeping their food intake down and suffer from excessive weight due to this habit are generally prescribed this medicine.
Neurotransmitters are natural body chemicals that are stored in nerve cells and are involved in transmitting messages between the nerve cells. They are released from nerve cells as a message is transmitted. Once the message has been transmitted, the nerve cells then reabsorb the neurotransmitter.
