REDUCTIL


Reductil is a prescription medicine used to fight obesity. As one of the most popular anti-obesity drugs on the market, Global-clinic.com have been carrying this particular treatment for some time. Our team of fully trained and experienced doctors will only approve applications for Reductil if the information supplied by the customer is completed in full, as Reductil does have a list of contra-indications that must be taken into account before you decide to take the drug. As with all weight loss programmes, consult your GP first to discuss if Reductil is appropriate for your condition.

Reductil capsules contain the active ingredient sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate, which is a type of anti-obesity medicine. It works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain. Sibutramine prevents two of these neurotransmitters, noradrenaline and serotonin, from being reabsorbed back into the nerve cells. Noradrenaline and serotonin are responsible for moderating mood and various other processes in the brain. It is thought that sibutramine helps people to lose weight by increasing the amount of noradrenaline and serotonin free to act in the brain. This enhances the feeling of being ‘full’ when eating, and so makes you feel satisfied after eating less food. As with all weight loss medication Reductil has to be combined with an appropriate diet and exercise programme – it isn’t a ‘magic bullet’ to fight obesity but can help you to loose weight at a sensible rate and, just as importantly, keep it off afterwards.

At Globalclinic.com, we believe in giving our customers accurate information so that they can make an informed choice as to which product to buy. In keeping with this policy, there are a number of contra-indications that we have to inform you about regarding Reductil, as some people may not be able to take this medication.

If you are allergic to sibutramine or any of the ingredients in the drug you should not take it. Other contra-indications include:
