 Meridia Reductil was the first drug approved by the FDA, in 1997, to treat obesity by inducing weight loss. Generic Sibutramine Hydrochloride Monohydrate, the medicinal component of Meridia, performs as a reuptake inhibitor on Serotonin a neurotransmitter in the brain that controls moods, sleeping pattern, and appetite, and Norepinephrine a hormone and neurotransmitter that stimulates the flow of glucose in the body encouraging a state of alertness, and improves mood. Its a single dose medicine.
Serotonin a neurotransmitter in the brain controls moods, and is affected by diet, but it does not cross the blood-brain barrier. Norepinephrine another neurotransmitter and hormone helps to enhance memory in people and it does not cross the blood-brain barrier either. Serotonin-Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors SNRIs are used to reduce depression in individuals, as they prevent neurotransmitters in the brain to return to the parent nerve, thereby maintaining the chemical balance required for a persons wellness. These also affect appetite, but alongwith Meridia Reductil, a special diet with low calories and exercise is recommended, to get better results for people who are over-weight. |
