How REDACT Works?

REDACT works by acting on the appetite control center in the brain. Studies have shown that using REDACT, along with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise, helped patients lose weight and maintain weight loss for up to two years.

The active ingredient in REDACT, sibutramine, works in the area of the brain that signals the sense of fullness (satiety). REDACT does not suppress appetite, which is your signal to start eating.

REDACT blocks the re-uptake of the brain chemicals (serotonin and norepinephrine) which help regulate the sense of fullness. Fullness is your signal to stop eating. Having a sense of fullness, or satiety, means you may feel satisfied with less food.

Sibutramine should be used in conjunction with a reduced calorie diet. Always consult your physician before beginning any diet or exercise program.

Clinical Experience

Sibutramine, the active ingredient in REDACT, has been extensively studied throughout the world. It has been studied in more than 100 clinical trials involving more than 12,000 patients. Approximately 14 million patients in more than 75 countries have used sibutramine for the treatment of obesity since it was approved in 1997.

In studies, sibutramine in combination with diet and exercise was effective in producing and maintaining significant weight loss in the majority of obese patients compared to diet and exercise alone.
