In addition to treating obese patients, the medication was also prescribed for overweight patients whose weight caused them medication complications
How does it work?
Reductil is a satiety enhancer or an appetite suppressant, so the medication works to control the amount eaten by elevating the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain and increasing the feeling of fullness. Reductil can also increase the rate of an individual’s resting metabolism. When you lose weight, your metabolic rate decreases as the amount of food you consume decreases, so the rate your body burns food is slowed down which can have negative effects during weight loss, however Reductil prevents this from happening. Reductil helps you feel full quicker with less food helping you achieve your weight loss goals when combined with a low-fat calorie-controlled diet and regular exercise.
