I'm starting to freak out...

Reductil

This medicine contains the active ingredient sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate, which is a type of anti-obesity medicine.


It works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are stored in nerve cells and are involved in transmitting messages between the nerve cells. They are released from nerve cells as a message is transmitted.

Once the message has been transmitted, the nerve cells then reabsorb the neurotransmitter. Sibutramine prevents two of these neurotransmitters, noradrenaline and serotonin, from being reabsorbed back into the nerve cells.


Noradrenaline and serotonin are responsible for moderating mood and various other processes in the brain. It is thought that sibutramine helps people to lose weight by increasing the amount of noradrenaline and serotonin free to act in the brain. This enhances the feeling of fulfillment from eating, and so makes you feel satisfied after eating less food.




I wish I could write that for my Biology paper...If I manage to, I'll be getting an A1...Unfortunately, I did not do my research earlier...SO I didn't manage to write such good essays...






Sibutramine is only licensed to aid weight loss in people with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, and those with a BMI of 27 or higher who also have other obesity related risk factors.
(Eh, My BMI is like 24 only ok...)
