Description:
Sibutramine (usually in the form of the hydrochloride monohydrate salt) is an oral anorexiant. Until 2010 it was marketed and prescribed as an adjunct in the treatment of exogenous obesity along with diet and exercise. It is a centrally-acting serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor structurally related to amphetamines, although its mechanism of action is distinct.
MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) is a prescription medicine used to help overweight or obese people lose weight and keep the weight off. MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) should be used together with a low calorie diet.
Application:
Sibutramine hydrochloride is a prescription-strength medication used for weight control and weight loss in people who are obese. This drug is an appetite suppressant intended to be used along with a healthy diet and an exercise program.
This medicine is available as an oral tablet to be taken once daily, with or without food. Sibutramine hydrochloride has the potential to be habit-forming, so patients should be careful not to exceed their prescribed dosages. While using this medicine, patients should regularly monitor their weight. Those who do not lose weight may need an increased dosage or the doctor may recommend against continuing the drug. Weight loss may decrease or discontinue after a patient has been taking the drug for six months.
Patients should inform the prescribing physician of bothersome or persistent side effects from the use of sibutramine hydrochloride. These side effects may include constipation, flu-like symptoms, and weakness. Insomnia, nervousness, and flushing are also possible. Other patients have experienced back pain, painful menstrual periods, and headaches.
