Diuretics

A group of drugs acting on the principle of a laxative or diuretic. They are effective at the initial stage and only for a short time, since weight loss occurs due to the removal of excess fluid from the body.

Meridia

Another well-known sibutramine-based drug, one of the most effective and reliable in this category. However, its action is based on the same psychotropic effect, which also makes the drug very aggressive and relevant only in severe cases of obesity. Anorectics do not lose the extra 5 kg.

Fluoxetine

Not based on sibutramine, but similar in action. In fact, these are not diet pills, but an antidepressant.
