Description:
Called Meridia in the U.S. and Canada whilst known as Reductil in Europe. 

The active ingredient in MERIDIA, sibutramine, works in the area of the brain that signals the sense of fullness (satiety). Meridia does not suppress appetite, which is your signal to start eating.

Meridia blocks the re-uptake of the brain chemicals (serotonin and norepinephrine) which help regulate the sense of fullness. Fullness is your signal to stop eating. Having a sense of fullness, or satiety, means you may feel satisfied with less food.

Sibutramine should be used in conjunction with a reduced calorie diet. Always consult your physician before beginning any diet or exercise program.
