Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Reduksin - diet pills that have a complex effect on the body.
Taking capsules is accompanied by the following therapeutic effects:
- there is a dulling of appetite by acting on the nerve cells responsible for satiety;
- normalizes the heat balance by burning fat cells (in obese people, this process is slowed down);
- metabolic processes are activated, as a result, food is absorbed faster and is not deposited in the form of fat cells;
- regulates the amount of glucose and uric acid in the blood;
- binds and removes excess cholesterol, toxins and harmful substances from the body;
- promotes satiety in small portions. As a result, the volume of the stomach is reduced to the desired size.After discontinuation of the drug, this change allows you to maintain normal weight.
The components of Reduksin are absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive tract. The maximum amount of the drug is noted 1 after administration. Further, the formation of active substances (they regulate the saturation and burning of fat cells) occurs under the influence of sibutramine. Their maximum concentration is observed 3 hours after taking the drug.
