Meridia is aimed at the obese or dangerously overweight – it is a pharmaceutically engineered drug with absolutely nothing natural about it – Meridia is a weight loss drug and should not be taken by anyone who is uncomfortable with the idea of taking a drug to control weight loss.

Meridia is a prescription only weight loss drug that cannot be purchased on the open market or via the web.

Although prescription only if you try hard enough you could most likely find a website that will sell to you – this strongly advised against. Meridia is a very strong drug and should only be taken under strict supervision of a GP, doctor or healthcare professional.

Meridia is not available to just anyone via prescription – it is typically only prescribed to the obese or to someone with a high BMI (Body Mass Index) of over 30.

Possibly the most commonly prescribed slimming pill is Xenical.

Xenixal is 10 x more likely to be prescribed by a GP than any other. More about Xenical

How Does Meridia Help With Weight Loss

Meridia is an appetite suppressant that works by reducing hunger and food cravings. The less food that is consumed, the less calories taken on board by the body.

Meridia Side Effects

As Meridia is a pharmaceutical grade drug (Sibutramine) there are side effects that are commonplace with such products. The common side effects associated with Meridia include.

• Dizziness
• Restlessness and Insomnia
• Flu Like Symptoms
• Stomach Cramps And Stomach Pain
• Indigestion
• Constipation
• Increase In Appetite

The last side effect symptom is quite ironic – Meridia is an appetite suppressant manufactured to decrease hunger but in some cases it has been know to have the opposite effect and actually increase appetite which rather defeats the object.

As with a majority of pharmaceutically produced drugs there is a price to pay – and Meridia certianly asks a heavy fee.
