Sibutramine in bodybuilding is known as an effective medication for weight loss and fat burning, which affects appetite and metabolism.
This medication does not cause dependence, as it does not increase the release of dopamine from nerve endings. A high level of control over its use is associated with unauthorized use as a weight loss product, which indicates its high effectiveness.
Contraindications:
- Mental illness
- Hypersensitivity
- Diseases of the heart and arteries
- Hypertension
Doses of Sibutramine and the method of its use for weight loss:
The average dose of Sibutramine is 10 mg once a day, preferably in the morning. If the weight does not decrease a few days after the start of taking the medication, the dose can be increased to 15 mg per day.
As a rule, 6 months after the start of treatment and before discontinuation of the medication, appetite returns to normal and weight stabilizes. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose, as this can lead to side effects and complications.
Taking Sibutramine should be combined with a low-calorie diet and exercise. Weight gain is often observed after discontinuation of treatment.
Sibutramine is an effective remedy for weight loss and appetite control for a short period of time — from 6 to 12 months. However, its effectiveness decreases with prolonged use for more than one year.
It should also be noted that Sibutramine is included in the Banned List of the World Anti-Doping Agency and belongs to substances prohibited during competitions.
