What is Reductil 15mg?
Reductil 15mg is used in combination with a reduced calorie diet and exercise to help people who are overweight lose weight and maintain their weight loss. Reductil is in a class of medications called appetite suppressants. It works by acting on appetite control centers in the brain to decrease appetite.
Reductil 15mg is used in the management of obesity by increasing the amount of neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine. Reductil 15mg inhibits the re-uptake of these neurotransmitters by the nerve cells and alters the balance of neurotransmitters within the nerve cells. Unlike other diet drugs (fenfluramine, dexfenfluramine) which increase release of these neurotransmitters from the cells, the action of Reductil 15mg is similar to anti-depressants (fluoxetine) which inhibit reuptake of serotonin. |

Action
Reductil contains the active ingredient sibutramine, which works by increasing the level of two chemicals found in the brain (serotonin and noradrenalin) which regulate appetite. These chemicals send signals which tell a person that they are becoming hungry and need to eat, or that they are becoming full and need to stop eating. Sibutramine causes an increase in the chemicals which cause a feeling of fullness or satiety (i.e. it suppresses the appetite), and can, therefore, help reduce the amount a person eats.

Reductil can also increase the rate of an individual’s resting metabolism or the amount of energy they consume when they are resting. During weight loss, it is common for the resting metabolic rate (RMR) to decrease as the amount of food consumed is decreased. This means that the rate at which the body burns up food is slowed down, which has negative effects on weight loss. Taking Reductil can stop this from happening.
