Reductil Description

Reductil® (sibutramine) is a medication that is prescribed to people who need to lose weight but are struggling with diet and exercise alone. Reductil can be taken for up to 12 months at a time but we do not recommend it for longer than this period without a break. Most patients are able to achieve their weight loss goals within this timeframe and, by adjusting their lifestyles while on the treatment, manage to keep the weight off after they come off the medication.

Reductil works by blocking the re-uptake of certain neurotransmitters which influence satiety during and after eating. This should mean that patients being treated with Reductil will feel satisfied with less food, thereby eating less than normal. To some extent, Reductil also attenuates the slow down in the body’s metabolism which sometimes accompanies weight loss, making it easier for your body to burn calories.

Reductil is a prescription medication so you must complete a consultation form before you can buy Reductil. Consultations are entirely free and you are under no obligation to make a purchase.

How to use Reductil

Take Reductil exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The normal prescribed dose for Reductil is one 10mg or 15mg tablet a day at least one hour before eating. For best results, take Reductil in the morning just before your first meal. Remember, in order to work properly Reductil should be taken with a low calorie diet. The starting dose for Reductil is 10 mg. We recommend that all patients start on this dosage although we will approve you for 15 mg dosage as well if this is appropriate in your circumstances. Reductil is a strong medication so it is better to start on the lower dose to ensure that you tolerate the drug well and you are not experiencing any side effects.

Potential Side Effects of Reductil

As with all prescription medications there are potential side effects. In clinical studies the most common side effects were increased blood pressure and/or heart rate, headache, dry mouth, constipation, and sleeplessness. Most people who get side effects get them early on (in the first four weeks) and find they wear off over time. Generally, any side effects are usually mild enough for people to decide to carry on taking Reductil.

Precautions

It is very important that you disclose your full medical history when you register with The Online Clinic as Reductil can be dangerous if taken in certain circumstances. Reductil cannot be taken with anti-depressants such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic anti-depressants and Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors. It is also not suitable for people who have a liver or kidney disorder, glaucoma, hyperthyroidism or and history of seizures, heart conditions or strokes. This is not an exhaustive list but a mere selection of conditions where the use of Reductil could be extremely harmful.

Reductil cannot be taken by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding as it would be harmful to the baby.

Reductil Drug interactions

There are a number of drugs which can interact with Reductil to produce unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects.

This will help us to make the right decision for you and reduce your chances of suffering any unwanted side effects.

Reductil Prices

We are confident that the price that we charge for Reductil is very competitive but we are not permitted to advertise prices of prescription medications prior to a medical consultation. As soon as you are approved to make a purchase, the full price list will be available. If after seeing the price list you no longer wish to remain on our patient list, you simply need to e-mail us and all your details will be deleted and you will never hear from us again. We do not provide your details to any third party for obvious reasons.

If you do see Reductil priced more cheaply elsewhere, we will be more than happy to match that price so long as the other website is UK based and is dispensing from a UK registered pharmacy so that we can authenticate that they are supplying genuine medication. If they are and the service is identical to that provided by The Online Clinic, we will not hesitate in offering to beat their price. Remember, you can only buy Reductil if you have prescription. The Online Clinic includes the cost of the prescription in the overall price that we charge so you must take this into account when comparing prices.
