Sibutramine weight loss

Sibutramine weight loss is indicated for the management of obesity, including weight loss and maintenance of weight loss, and should be used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet. Sibutramine is recommended for obese patients with an initial body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2, or ≥ 27 kg/m2 in the presence of other risk factors (e.g., diabetes, dyslipidemia, controlled hypertension).

Sibutramine weight loss assists with weight loss by altering neurotransmitters within the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are produced and released by nerves to communicate with other nerves. Released neurotransmitters may attach to other nerves or they may be taken up again by the nerves that release them, a process termed reuptake. Sibutramine blocks the reuptake of the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Blocking the reuptake of neurotransmitters alters the balance of neurotransmitters within the nerve cells and thereby affects nerve function and interaction. Zeecontainer kopen

Patients taking sibutramine may achieve a 5-10% reduction from their baseline weight. Additionally, sibutramine-assisted weight loss has been accompanied by improvement in blood lipids (e.g., cholesterol). Sibutramine was approved by the FDA in 1997.
