Sibutramine Weight Loss

As a CNS stimulant, sibutramine weight loss inhibits the reuptake of neurotransmitters in the brain. This leads to suppression of appetite and an increase in the sense of fullness.

Your nerve cells communicate with each other as well as other cells by using neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are released and activate receptors on the surface of the cells they are passing the message to.

Once the message has been received, the neurotransmitters are either destroyed or absorbed into the nerve cells that made them. This absorption is what is referred to as re-uptake. The neurotransmitters have to be destroyed or absorbed to end the message. If the re-uptake is inhibited the message is maintained and many times it is also amplified.

Sibutramine inhibits the re-uptake of particular brain neurotransmitters specifically serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. All these brain chemicals are associated with the complex mechanism of satiety and hunger. The re-uptake inhibition suppresses the feeling of hunger leading to lower calorie intake and consequent weight loss.

And though sibutramine as a weight loss medication is similar to the withdrawn dexfenfluramine (Dexfen), unlike Dexfen, it does not stimulate or cause an increase in release of serotonin. Serotonin is one of the neurotransmitter (brain chemical) that has been linked to a serious heart valve disease and an often fatal Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH). Toxic levels of serotonin from use of fenfluramine (Fen), Dexfenfluramine (Dexfen) as well as their popular cocktail with phentermine i.e. Phen-Fen and Dexfen-Phen respectively resulted to the withdrawal of both Fen and Dexxfen in the U.S market. And though sibutramine is not as effective as these other drugs, it is safer to use.

Studies have shown sibutramine to be effective in resulting to weight loss. Weight loss of 3-5 kg in 6 months has been recorded. Other studies have shown as much as 7% weight loss of total body weight within 6-12 months.

Less common ones include abdominal pain, back pain, change in sense of taste, increasing sweating, indigestion and flushing skin.

Side effects that should raise some concerns include increased blood pressure, painful menstruations, swelling of body, feet or ankle, fast or irregular heart beat, sever headaches, red patches on the skin and seizures.

Like all other weight loss drugs, the potential benefit is weighed against individual predisposition to these side effects. Sibutramine weight loss is a prescription drug indicated for people with an initial body mass index of at least 30. Alternatively, a BMI of 27 with accompanying obesity related diseases like diabetes or hypertension.

Sibutramine is used as an adjunct in a medically supervised weight loss program. The program should entail a weight loss diet and preferably weight loss exercise and behavioral treatment.

The use of adjuncts in a diet plan is a strategy to assist in jumpstarting weight loss. But when it comes to diet drugs, you will need a prescription. However supplements like Caralluma Burn (the NEW scientifically proven natural diet pill) can have simmilar effects and they donot require a doctors prescription.
