Meridia Weight Loss Medication

The generic name for this drug is sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate, and it does its job by inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine, seratonin, and dopamine. This causes your body to react by increasing its production of these chemicals because it doesn't see how much it really has produced.

Weight loss results with Meridia weight loss medication have been shown in numerous clinical trials to exceed those of the people in the study who were on the low calorie diet prescibed in the trial and taking a placebo.

There have been a number of articles out there that show that of the weight loss medications the lowest weight loss differnce was seen from meridia.

The studies and indications that are published by the FDA and Abbott themselves do not say that meridia boosts metabolism, but that its effectiveness comes from the increase in the bodies production of seratonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine which all tell the body when it has eaten enough. So Meridia weight loss medicine works by essentially curbing hunger.

Weight loss results with Meridia weight loss medicine are achieved through a low calorie diet and increased exercise. So, to lose weight on Meridia you need to follow the guidelines of the 7 Habits of Weight Loss anyways.

From everything that I have researched the statistical connection between meridia and weight loss could very easily be replicated by simply increasing metabolism through exercise and decreasing your calorie intake through portion control.

Now, it is possible that Meridia boosts metabolism, since it is definately known to potentially cause major increase in blood pressure as well as increased heart rate.

But you should not even think about taking Meridia or other weight loss medication without medical oversight.
A doctor should not even think about prescribing this medication unless your BMI is >30 and you are otherwise healthy, or your BMI is >27 and you already have obesity related medical issues.

If you already have obesity related medical issues, the potential problems with taking Meridia to lose weight are greater due to the interaction with other medications you may already be taking. And the potential side effects which you may already be experiencing before even taking this drug.
