hi selenna,
actually I'm in Canada right now, does the site you've recommended ship Reductil to Canada. I know Customs are very strict here concerning medicines.

Default Reductil

Reductil was removed from the UK market because of concerns over it's effect on the heart - I dont know the exact details - I did use it years ago when it was prescribed by my GP - It hlped me go from 17 4 to 11 2 but now I am back up to 13 10 - you have to get your BP checked monthl - I wouldnt recommend it now cos it's been withdrawn but did help me - i only- used it about 2 months and then i was in the frame and did Atkins - struggling to get back and lose the 42 lbs i gained but would be scared of using reuctil without med supervision - no good being the skinniest chick in the coronary care unit!

I tried Reductil a while back before it was removed from the market. I had really bad heart palpitations like my heart was gonna pop outta my chest. It would get worst at night and wake me up sometimes.
The dr. got me to stop it although it a very strong suppressant. Some days I had to force myself to eat because I hardly felt hungry.

I wouldn't really advise you to take the meds unless under dr supervision and if you do stop it immediately if you notice any of the mentioned side effects. Its serious and could cause heart failure.

Hi again, I've got my Reductil order safely and I'm using it for a while week now. I'm haapy to tell you I don't have any of the side effects except a little dry mouth, I drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy food only. I've lost only 900g this week and I do hope to lose more on the following weeks
Thanks selenna for the good site you've recommended

Hey there,

Ive been on Reductil- I was fine with it- I was monitored for all the usual symptoms- Heart felt a bit Faster but nothing too bad- To be honest wasn't that great... But that's just my opinion.

hiii

haven't been in this forum for months... sorry

I lost all my extra weight with Reductil diet pills and I feel so comfortable and proud

Indeed Reductil was banned in most countries and I was buying it online from a safe net source. I can't post the site here, PM me if you still need it.

Wish you all the best!

Well done on losing your weight, but I wouldn't advise anyone to buy it online without the extra doctor check ups, surely that's just plain dangerous especially as a) you have no idea what youre actually buying online and b) it is banned for a reason?
