Tablets that accelerate the metabolism for weight loss

Anyone who, at least once in his life, has been looking for ways to quickly and effectively eliminate excess body weight, knows that excess weight results from improper metabolism, poor diet and low physical activity. And to influence this process, you need tablets that accelerate the metabolism, for weight loss.

Indications of the tablets to accelerate metabolism

Tablets are indicated for admission for primary obesity in which the BMI can be 30+ kg / m ² or 27+ kg / m ² (if combined with other risk factors that result from excess weight (diseases such as insulin-dependent or 2- type diabetes mellitus or dyslipidemia)).

Names of tablets accelerating metabolism for weight loss

There are a number of drugs that help remove fat and speed up the process of metabolism, and they act without additional measures in the form of diets and various restrictions. Among them are the following drugs:

• Reduxin and Goldlane help to influence the saturation center, prolong the time of action of the hormone responsible for saturation, have a lipolytic effect and accelerate the processes of metabolism;
• Xenical and Orsoten block the enzyme of digestion, which promotes the absorption of fats - lipase;
• Supplements such as Turboslim, and also LiDa, or MCC, etc., have diuretic and laxative properties, help to clear the intestines and liver, and also dilute the blood.

The properties of tablets for weight loss, accelerating the metabolism, are considered on the example of the drug Reduxin.

Pharmacodynamics

A combined agent that uses to treat obesity. Its active ingredient is sibutramine, a prodrug that acts in vivo through metabolic products (primary as well as secondary amines) that suppress the monoamine reuptake process (mainly norepinephrine and serotonin). Due to the increase in the content of neurotransmitters in synapses, the activity of the central nerve fibers of serotonin, together with adrenoreceptors, also increases, resulting in a feeling of saturation, a decrease in the need for food, and besides this, thermal production increases. Sibutramine indirectly triggers the action of β3-adrenergic receptors, thereby affecting brown fat tissue. Together with weight reduction, a decrease in triglycerides is observed, as well as an increase in the level of HDL in blood serum. Also, the level of LDL, total cholesterol and uric acid decreases.

Sibutramine, along with its metabolic products, does not affect the release of monoamines, nor does it inhibit MAO. In addition, it has no affinity for most neurotransmitter receptors, including serotonin, adrenergic receptors, and in addition benzodiazepine, dopamine, histamine, muscarinic, and NMDA receptors.

MCC is an enterosorbent, which has a sorption effect, and also has a nonspecific detoxification effect. It helps to bind, and in addition to deduce the products of activity of different microorganisms, and besides allergens, toxins having an internal or external nature, xenobiotics. In addition, it displays an excess of individual metabolites and metabolic products that respond to the appearance of an endogenous type of toxicosis.

Pharmacokinetics

After taking the medicine, sibutramine is rapidly absorbed from the digestive tract, at least 77%. Further, it undergoes the effect of per-systemic metabolism in the liver, and then biotransforms with the participation of the 3A4 CYP3A4 isoenzyme, resulting in the formation of 2 active metabolites (this is mono-, as well as didlesmethylsibutramine). The first with a single dose of 15 mg has a maximum concentration of 4 ng / ml (3.2-4.8 ng / ml), and the second - 6.4 ng / ml (5.6-7.2 ng / milliliter). The maximum concentration in the blood of sibutramine is reached after 1.2 hours, and the active metabolic products - after 3-4 hours. In the case of simultaneous consumption with food, the maximum concentration of metabolites is reduced by 30%, and the time to reach this index increases by 3 hours (AUC in this case does not change). Distribution in tissues occurs quickly. With plasma proteins, sibutramine binds to 97%, and the substance mono-, as well as didlesmethylsibutramine - by 94%. Equilibrium concentrations in the blood plasma active metabolic products reach 4 days after the initiation of therapy. This figure is almost 2 times higher than the plasma level after a single dose.

The half-life of sibutramine is 1.1 hours, the substances monodesmethylsibutramine and didesmethylsibutramine are 14 and 16 hours, respectively. There is a conjugation, as well as hydroxylation of active metabolites, resulting in inactive metabolites that are excreted from the body mainly through the kidneys.

Dosing and administration

Xenical should be taken on 1 tab. (120 mg) together with the basic daily meal (during the meal or at least one hour after it). In case of skipping meals or when eating fat is not allowed, you can skip the use of the drug.

Reduxin should be taken 1 p. / Day. Dosages are determined individually, this depends on the clinical effect, as well as the tolerability. At the beginning of treatment, a dosage of 10 mg is recommended; if poor tolerance is found, a dose of up to 5 mg can be lowered. Tablets are taken in the morning, they do not need to be chewed, only to drink with water. The medicine can be taken on an empty stomach or combined with food. If after 4 weeks. After the beginning of therapy there was no decrease in weight by 5 +%, the dosage should be increased to 15 mg / day.

Turboslim take 1 pp. / Day. On 2 tab. Before eating. Duration of treatment should be at least 1 month. If necessary, you can repeat the course.

Side effects of the tablets to accelerate metabolism

Side effects of Reduxin:

The organs of the CNS and PNS: mostly insomnia and dryness in the oral cavity; sometimes headaches, taste disorders, anxiety, dizziness, and paresthesia are possible; in some cases, there may be a state of drowsiness, depression, irritability or anxiety, as well as nervousness. In addition to this, cramps, pain in the back, emotional instability.

Organs of the cardiovascular system: rarely enough, there is an increase in blood pressure, tachycardia, acceleration of the heartbeat, as well as vasodilation.

Organs of the digestive system: mainly constipation and decreased appetite; In addition, in some cases, exacerbation of hemorrhoids or nausea.

Skin reactions: occasionally sweating, and in some cases - itching or skin hemorrhage.

General reactions: in some cases, the following disorders may occur: swelling, thirst, runny nose, bleeding, dysmenorrhea, acute form of interstitial nephritis, a decrease in the number of platelets.

Among the side effects of Xenical: mostly they arise from the gastrointestinal tract due to the pharmacological properties of the drug, which prevents the absorption of dietary fats. In most cases, patients noted the appearance of oily discharge from the rectum, gas separation, urgent urges for the act of defecation, an increase in this process, as well as incontinence and steatori. In general, these reactions were mild and transitory. Appeared usually at the early stage of therapy (the first 3 months), and in most cases, patients had a maximum of one episode of such a reaction. 

[25], [26], [27], [28]

Interactions with other drugs

Reactions of Reduxine: inhibitors of monooxygenase oxidation, among which inhibitors of Ioenzyme 3A4 cytochrome P450 (such as ketoconazole, cyclosporine, and erythromycin), increase the plasma concentration of sibutramine metabolism products, while also increasing heart rate and QT interval (clinically insignificant).

Rifampicin, as well as antibiotics that are part of the macrolide group, and besides them phenytoin, phenobarbital, dexamethasone and carbamazepine accelerate the metabolism of sibutramine.

In the case of joint intake of several drugs that increase the blood serotonin content in the blood, a so-called. Serotonin syndrome. It occasionally occurs as a result of a combination of Reduxin with SSRIs (drugs treating depression), as well as individual remedies for migraine (such drugs as sumatriptan or dihydroergotamine). In addition, it may appear in the case of a compound with analgesics of strong action (this is pethidine, pentazocine, as well as fentanyl) or anti-cough medicines (eg, dextromethorphan). Sibutramine has no effect on oral contraceptive activity.

The combined intake of ethanol and sibutramine did not show an increase in the negative impact on the body of ethanol. But while drinking alcohol in the case of sibutramine for diet is strictly prohibited.

When you receive Xenical, you need to consider the possibility that the absorption of β-carotene, as well as vitamins A and D, as well as E and K, may decrease. Reducing weight as a result of Xenical therapy can increase the compensation of the metabolic process in people with diabetes, so they will need to reduce the dosage of oral glucose-lowering drugs.

Doctor's comments

Regarding the safety and effectiveness of drugs containing sibutramine, the opinions of doctors are divided.

One part considers such drugs more dangerous than effective, because they negatively affect the human psyche, as well as the work of the heart. In defense of their theory, doctors state the following fact - such pills are banned in some countries, such as Canada, the US and Australia.

The second part believes that if the drugs are taken correctly, to comply with the dosage and recommendations of the doctor, they can really help get rid of excess weight, and completely safe. As proof, examples are given of the lives of people taking pills that have lost weight, and are now experiencing no problems.

Such a difference in the opinions of doctors should not be surprising, because sibutramine is a potent agent, so each organism can be influenced in different ways. If you do not take into account any contraindication - there will be no result. If the recommended dose is exceeded, side effects will begin. Therefore, it is necessary to follow the advice of the attending physician in all things and not try to heal yourself.
