Who is Reductil suitable for?
Reductil may be prescribed for you by a doctor if you have a BMI greater than 30, or you have a BMI greater than 27 together with other risk factors such as dyslipidaemia or type II diabetes. Note that Reductil is not suitable for you if you have high blood pressure, as one of the side effects of Reductil is to raise blood pressure. Certainly, if your blood pressure is in excess of 140/90 you should not be prescribed Reductil. You should be prepared to follow a lower calorie diet and increase the amount of exercise you take (following your doctor’s advice). Your doctor may stop prescribing Reductil for you if you do not lose at least 2Kg of weight during the first 4 weeks of treatment, or 5% of your initial bodyweight after the first three months of treatment.
