Sibutramine Info

All prescription drugs have some risks attached to them.  With the weight-loss drug Sibutramine, the risks can be especially high.  It isn’t that Sibutramine is more dangerous than other drugs per se.  Rather, it is because Sibutramine is indicated for treating obesity and obese people are likely to have risk factors for Sibutramine such as high blood pressure and heart problems. Here are the guidelines to make sure that you are using Sibutramine safely.

Always Consult Your Doctor First

Before you take any prescription or nonprescription drug for weight loss, it is always best to consult your doctor.  Your doctor will be able to tell you whether Sibutramine is safe for you to use based on your medical history.  Further, your doctor will be able to determine what the best weight-loss plan is for you.  If your doctor approves Sibutramine for you, make sure that you are getting the follow-up care and having your progress regularly assessed.

Stick to the Recommended Dosage

One of the biggest problems with diet pills is that people don’t always use them responsibly.  In their urgency to lose weight quickly, many people decide to take higher dosages than recommended.  In most cases (such as with Sibutramine), a higher dosage isn’t going to significantly improve weight loss.  However, it can lead to serious side effects like heart tremors, seizures, or even death.

Know What is Normal

It is important that you have a clear idea of what Sibutramine side effects are normal and which may be cause for concern.  Even if a side effect is considered normal, such as nausea, don’t hesitate to tell your doctor about it if it is bothersome or long lasting.  If you ignore side effects from Sibutramine, you could be putting yourself at risk for serious harm to your body.

Get Your Vitamins

Sibutramine can be very effective in blocking appetite.  Since you will be eating less while taking Sibutramine, you could develop a vitamin deficiency.  It is very important that you eat nutritious meals while taking Sibutramine.  It may be a good idea to take a multivitamin to ensure you are getting all the nutrients you need.  A vitamin deficiency probably isn’t going to cause serious harm.  However, it can make you feel sluggish.  As you know, it is much harder to exercise and lose weight when you are lacking energy so those vitamins can really help!

Set Realistic Goals

You aren’t going to drop 10lbs overnight with Sibutramine.  If you aren’t also exercising and eating healthily while taking Sibutramine, then you may not even lose 1lb per day.  Before you take Sibutramine, set realistic goals for yourself and follow through on them.  Congratulate yourself for the small victories: all those small weight losses can quickly add up.
