In pursuit of a slim figure, those losing weight resort not only to diets and exercise, but also to auxiliary methods.

We are talking, as you may have already guessed, about specially created medical drugs, the purpose of which is to reduce appetite.

They contain a substance called sibutramine.

It can actually affect the brain, suppressing the areas responsible for the feeling of hunger.

However, no one is immune from the occurrence of side effects, of which, by the way, there are quite a few.

These include insomnia, nervous breakdowns, rapid heartbeat, nausea, severe headaches, etc.

But the main disadvantage is not even this. The disadvantage of such drugs is that appetite cannot be controlled after the end of the course.

This means that if you manage to lose weight while taking the medication, the extra pounds threaten to return immediately after the course is over.
