The unique drug Reduxin impresses with its “skills”. It is able to specifically affect the human brain, reducing appetite. And, in addition, it increases energy consumption, which leads to accelerated weight loss.

The mechanism of action of Reduxine for weight loss

Most people during the day are not limited to breakfast, lunch, dinner and scheduled snacks. In addition to these meals, various harmful “goodies” enter the stomach. It can be difficult not to eat the candy seen in the vase or refuse to try the cookie offered by the colleague. It is Reduxin diet pills that help completely destroy the desire to treat yourself with harmful products at the wrong time.

The main active ingredient of the drug takes on the fight against appetite. And additional ones act in such a way that the body’s energy demand instantly rises. This means that food is better absorbed and the nutrients from it, as well as past fat stores are beginning to be used as sources of this same energy.

Both important processes run simultaneously in parallel.

As a result, slow weight loss occurs, which does not harm the body and does not impair its functioning. Daily losses are not more than 500 - 700 g.

At first glance, this may seem like an unsuccessful result. In fact, only gradual weight loss does not negatively affect the psychological and physical health of a person.And, besides, quickly dumped kilos usually return soon.

Composition, release form and packaging

The drug in question is available in capsule form. They differ in the dosage of the main active substance and color. These are blue (10 mg) and blue (15 mg) pills. Both options are stacked by the manufacturer in blisters. Then they “hide” in small bundles of cardboard.

When dealing with the composition of the drug, first of all, it is necessary to note its main active ingredient - sibutramine. This is the only appetite suppressant officially prescribed for sale today and is prescribed for controlling overweight. It acts in the human body due to metabolites. A process is started that increases the patient's sensation of fullness and reduces the need for food.

In addition, the composition of the drug includes microcrystalline cellulose. This component is necessary for a feeling of satiety after taking the drug. Often, overweight people with an improper nutrition system have a very long stomach. Swelling, cellulose absorbs not only water, but also a variety of harmful substances. As a result, a place is occupied that could be filled with high-calorie food.

Today on sale there are different forms of the drug.

  • For example, Reduxin Light is popular among buyers. This is not a medicine, but a dietary supplement. The main active ingredient in a vehicle of this form is linoleic acid. It improves metabolic processes in the body and helps to lose weight naturally. We can say that this is a lightweight version of the drug, which has virtually no contraindications. It is prohibited only for children, pregnant women, nursing mothers, as well as for people with allergies to any substances from the composition of the product.
  • Another version of the drug is made with the prefix "Met". What is the difference between Reduxin and Reduxin Met, it is worth checking with a specialist. The differences between the means are not only in the name. The latest drug is an improved version of the classic Reduxin. The composition of the novelty is supplemented with metformin, which enhances the effectiveness of all components. In addition, tablets and capsules are contained immediately in one package of such a preparation.

Instructions for use Reduxine

The main mistake of losing weight is the self-prescribing of a remedy for yourself. It is important to remember that Reduxin is not an ordinary safe supplement to accelerate weight loss, but a serious drug that can be prescribed even in the treatment of obesity.

Usually, the course of therapy begins with a dose of 1 capsule per day. The exact plan for taking the drug and the required amount for the day is made by the doctor, taking into account the individual tolerance of the components of the drug to the patient, as well as its clinical effectiveness.

Under standard conditions, a single dose of 10 mg is prescribed to begin with. If it is poorly tolerated by the patient, it is reduced to 5 mg per day.

It happens that a week after the start of taking the drug, it is not possible to achieve a decrease in body weight even by 5 percent. In this case, the dose is increased to 15 mg per day.

It is forbidden to continue therapy with Reduxin for more than 90 days.

If during this time it was not possible to achieve the desired effect, it means that the drug is not suitable for a particular patient and you need to choose another agent with a similar effect, but with a different composition.

When taking capsules, remember the following important rules:

  1. The pills must be swallowed whole. It is forbidden to bite and chew them.
  2. Drink the drug with a large amount of liquid. Let it be pure still water and unsweetened water.
  3. Capsules should be taken in the morning shortly after waking up. You can drink them on an empty stomach or with breakfast.

Therapy with the drug under discussion must be carried out under the supervision and constant supervision of a professional who has experience in treating obesity. Taking medication must be combined with proper nutrition and physical activity.

During pregnancy and lactation

Experts note that taking Reduxin promotes accelerated pregnancy. There are cases when women undergoing treatment for infertility and struggling with obesity with the help of such a drug suddenly found the treasured two strips on the test.

The thing is that the correct intake of the drug reduces body weight, and, therefore, contributes to the normalization of reproductive function. All this leads to a desired pregnancy.

The manufacturer of Reduxin notes that patients taking the drug need special attention to contraception.

If pregnancy has already begun, then you should immediately stop taking the medicine, since studies have not yet been conducted that would establish the degree of influence of the drug on the fetus. Therefore, the "interesting position" falls into the list of contraindications for taking capsules. The period of breastfeeding is added to it.

Only in rare cases can a pregnant woman be prescribed Reduxine. This is allowed if the benefit for the mother from his reception is more significant than the possible harm to the baby.

Contraindications, side effects

If you decide to start taking the drug, it is important first to carefully study the list of contraindications. As noted above, pregnancy and breastfeeding fall into it.

And, in addition, the following pathologies impose a ban on taking "Reduxine":

  • prostate adenoma;
  • thyrotoxicosis;
  • glaucoma (closed angle);
  • pheochromocytoma.

You will have to refuse the drug if there are serious problems with the kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system.

The medicine is also forbidden to people:

  • suffering from addiction to any drugs, alcohol and / or drugs;
  • allergic to any component of the product;
  • as well as children (under 18 years old) and older people over 65 years old.

If the patient uses any other drugs that affect the central nervous system or contribute to weight loss, the use of Reduxine will have to be postponed.

What results can be achieved by taking the drug

The main advantage of the drug is that weight loss does not occur jerkily, but very slowly and gradually. If initially a person’s excess weight was not critical, then about 300-500 g will go away per day.

After about 2 to 3 weeks, the process may slow down.

On average, for the entire full course of taking the drug, it is possible to get rid of 12-15 kg. If you supplement the product with sports and a special diet, the result will be even more impressive.

Which is better, Reduxin or Goldline

Choosing an effective remedy for the treatment of obesity, losing weight often face the choice of which is better: Reduxin or Goldline. These drugs have the same main active ingredient. And in general, their entire composition is identical. Only the manufacturer and the price differ.

If you take into account the cost of the drug, then the preference should still be given to Reduxin. Typically, its price is 200-300 rubles lower than the second option discussed.

Reviews of nutritionists about pills

Today, in the vastness of the Web, you can find a huge number of reviews about Reduxine from professional nutritionists. There are radically opposite opinions of specialists about the drug: both positive and negative.

But most nutritionists say that deciding to take such a serious remedy is only if the excess weight has exceeded the mark of 30 kg.

Use "Reduxin" is possible only to people with a stable psyche. If a person is depressed at the time of taking the drug, capsules will only worsen his condition.

Analogues of the drug for weight loss

There are several analogues of Reduxin. The most famous and popular among them is the Gold Line already mentioned above.

An even more budgetary option is the Russian-made Global.

Other analogues:

  • Slimia;
  • Meridia
  • Lindax.

So that weight loss does not lead to sad consequences, it is necessary to take the drug under discussion only under the strict supervision of a doctor. "Reduxin" can not be used to "whip up" to get rid of a couple of extra kilos or centimeters at the waist. This is a serious drug that requires a responsible attitude to therapy.
