Meridia Online Review

Meridia is a weight loss drug manufactured for those who wanted to lose weight and prevent the gained weight from coming back. The product is manufactured in capsule form with three various strengths (5mg, 10mg and 15mg) and they should only be taken once a day. The strength recommended depends on the doctor’s prescription. As a prescription, Meridia should never be taken outside prescription because its side effects could be fatal especially if the user did not have any prior medical check up.

The product is a very unique in its industry because it helps in weight loss while emphasizing on its ability to prevent weight from coming back.

The product is manufactured by Abbott Laboratories. The company has the license for the main ingredient of the product (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) which means a generic version of Meridia is not yet available.

How Meridia Works

The ability of Meridia to prevent weight gain is through suppression of appetite. By taking the pill once a day, your body will feel full even though you have eaten a small amount of food. Of course, you don’t have to starve yourself. You’ll be eating in small amount (enough for daily sustenance) but Meridia will make you feel full.

For Meridia to foster fullness even though small amounts of food were taken is through prevention of a process called “reuptake”. This process refers to the transmission of chemicals in the nerves of the body. The nerves have spaces wherein chemicals are stored until they are ready to be transmitted to the next nerve.

Merida works by preventing chemicals from transmitting in nerves. Through this drug, chemicals responsible for fullness are preserved. The chemicals responsible to help you feel full are the following:

* serotonin
* norepinephrine
* dopamine

With the aid of Meridia these chemicals are prevented from being transmitted. Meridia will make you feel full because of the presence of the chemicals in your nerves.

By focusing on chemicals, Meridia will help you feel full but will not allow you to starve because you always feel contented. Since Meridia focuses on certain chemicals dedicated for fullness, it will not affect the chemicals dedicated for seeking food. In short, you’ll still feel hunger but you’ll feel full fast.

Because of the prevention of “reuptake” of certain chemicals in the body, you should be able to experience weight loss without being fully conscious about it.

Efficiency and Other Effects

Even though Meridia is an effective weight loss drug, it doesn’t mean that the user will not have any responsibilities on his or her end. For Meridia to be fully effective, users will have to go on a diet that will help them lose weight. Controlled calorie intake should be implemented in order for Meridia to be effective in the body.

A study was conducted on the effects of Meridia and it suggests that those who use Meridia should be able to experience weight reduction up to 18 lbs. This reduction was noticed after six months of usage with the proper diet.

Aside from Meridia’s ability to help in weight reduction, users can also experience “healthy side effects” on cholesterol. Because of regular dieting and the feeling of fullness, bad cholesterol is reduced in the body. LDLs and Triglyceride (forms of bad cholesterol) levels were reduced while using Meridia. While bad cholesterols are prevented from being absorbed in the body, Meridia also helps in increased “good cholesterol” in the body. While it’s not an answer for those who wanted to be healthy, it can greatly help in weight reduction and cleaning your body.

Meridia should also help users prevent further weight gain even after the user stops taking the weight loss drug. At least 40% of those who have used the weight loss product were able to prevent 80% of the weight they lost from coming back. But this is only possible if the diet program will continue.

Side Effects of Meridia

Meridia is not a wonder drug – users will still experience side effects while taking this pill. However, if the user follows the direction of his or her doctor, side effects will almost be non-existent and if there would be side effects, they can be tolerated by anyone.

The most prominent side effect of Meridia is headache. This should be expected by at least 30% of those who are using Meridia. The reason for this is simple: because the process of Meridia deals with “re-uptake” the brain might have a hard time coping up with the prevention of the process in the brain. Instead of letting the process of transmitting chemicals go through, Meridia will stop the process and the body might not be able to deal with it easily.

Other side effects that could be experienced while taking Meridia are the following:

* Insomnia
* Sore Throat
* Loss of Appetite
* Coughing
* Stomach Pain
* Migraines
* Flushing
