What is Ectiva?

Ectiva is a trade name of Sibutramine hydrochloride (another trade names are: Meridia, Obestat, Raductil, Reduxade, Reductil, Leptos).

Ectiva is an appetite suppressant that is used as a weight control medication.

Doctors rarely prescribe this drug unless you suffer from extreme obesity or weight related health problems. Your Body Mass Index is required to be 30 or more. The exception is that you can have a Body Mass Index of 27 or more if you also suffer from a serious weight-related health problem.

Ectiva works by making you feel satisfied with less food.

For the healthiest and most effective weight loss you should have a long term plan.

Before taking Ectiva you should review your diet so that you understand your eating patterns fully and thus you will be able to balance you newly reduced appetite.

In tests typical weight loss varied between 3llbs and 14llbs during a period of up to six months. Weight loss should be a gradual process, and not a quick fix.

This medication is approved for longer periods of use (up to 12 months at a time) and promotes gradual weight loss over longer periods of time.
