Sibutramine Magnus Pharmaceuticals
Sibutramine reduces caloric intake by suppressing appetite and increasing satiety and increases metabolism, increasing the body's caloric intake. Sibutramine acts on the hypothalamus (in the brain), which is responsible for controlling anxiety and hunger. Thus, it is classified as an appetite suppressant and is administered orally for the treatment of obesity (recommended for weight loss and maintenance of lost weight).
