Meridia.
Meridia (sibutramine) is a prescription appetite-suppressant that can be taken if you have obesity and need to get rid of excessive weight to avoid the risk of developing very serious medical problems. You will be required to take Meridia by mouth usually once a day with some food or without. You will also need to take this medicine at the same time every day to benefit from the treatment as much as possible. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have a history of an allergic reaction to sibutramine, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or are taking Mao inhibitors, such as tranylcypromine, selegiline, isocarboxazid, or phenelzine, as some of these factors can make Meridia unsafe for you. Please tell your doctor about any other drugs you are using, especially lithium, antidepressants, ergot medicines, migraine headache medicines, tryptophan, and narcotic pain medications. Do not forget to mention the fact of having any medical conditions that may interfere with the success of your treatment. A few ones have been reported to do that, and here is a list of them for you to know which ones are important to mention: a history of heart attack or stroke, underactive thyroid, high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, depression, bleeding disorder, heart disease, glaucoma, and seizures.
