Redoxine is one of the most controversial drugs for the treatment of obesity. Serious contraindications and an impressive list of side effects require careful medical monitoring of the patient's condition. And the combination of Reduxine and alcohol causes many contradictions. Although there are no official bans on taking alcohol during "Reduxinotherapy", doctors recommend completely limiting alcoholic libations for this period. Otherwise, the consequences can be detrimental - both for the figure and for health in general.
Redoxin - Composition and Mechanism of Action
Reducine( 15 mg) is a certified combination treatment for obesity. Because of the myriad of contraindications, in no case should he be taken on his own initiative - only on the prescription of the doctor and under his vigilant supervision.
The "medicine for harmony" is issued in capsules, as a part of one capsule there are 2 basic biologically active substances. This is sibutramine( 10 mg) and microcrystalline cellulose( 168.5 mg).
- Sibutramine enhances the work of hormones serotonin and norepinephrine by means of its action, which reduces the patient's appetite, and the feeling of satiety comes faster than usual.
- In addition, the active substance has a destructive effect on brown fat tissue, helps to remove cholesterol, uric acid from the body. Due to this, the body weight decreases.
- Cellulose is a known sorbent, which has a powerful cleansing effect. Helps to activate the work of the intestine and expel from the body all toxic products of decay.
Reduxin Met and Reduxin Light
Extended version of the drug is Reduxin met. In the package of such a remedy immediately 2 medications - capsule Reduxina from obesity and a tablet with metformin - for the treatment of hypoglycemia. You need to take them at the same time.
Together with Reduxin in the pharmacy can offer a "gentle version" of the drug - Reduxin lite. The principal difference between the two "slimming" products is that the former is a patented medicine, and the second, with the prefix "light", is a biologically active additive to food.
Redoxine light is not so potent as the "basic version", but also has a multidirectional effect on the body:
- activates metabolic processes;
- helps burn fat deposits;
- prevents formation of a new fat layer;
- strengthens muscle tissue( by protein synthesis).
Another difference between the drug and the "light" additive is the method of taking. Reduxin drink one capsule a day in the morning, at least until breakfast, though after. It is recommended to start with 10 mg, if in a month there was no weight loss by 5% of the total body weight, then you can increase the dose - up to 15 mg. If there are no obvious positive results after 3 months, you need to stop such useless therapy. And if there is an effect, treatment can be continued up to 2 years.
Doctors also recommend concomitantly with the use of Reduxin - any variety - a special diet. And it is necessary to exercise( fitness, aerobics, swimming) - depending on the capabilities and condition of the patient.

Compatibility with alcohol
Redoxin in long-term treatment can seriously affect the work of a variety of organs and systems, so there are a lot of contraindications for the" slimming medicine ".And, whether it is possible to combine a preparation with alcohol - one of the most widespread questions.
To treat obesity Reduxin is not allowed to persons with mental disorders, chronic heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, renal and hepatic diseases, etc. Another important contraindication is diagnosed dependencies: alcoholic, narcotic and drug.
Among the side effects:
- sleep disorders and headaches( in rare cases - irritability, anxiety, depression, drowsiness);
- tachycardia and high blood pressure;
- constipation( especially if you drink less than 1.5-2 liters of water a day);
- swelling and itchy skin;
- sweating.
Alcohol has a purposeful effect on all body systems, and some effects in combination with Reduxin can be intensified:
- Hot drinks have a stimulating effect on the nervous system, which rapidly grows into a depressing one. Reduxin also has a tangible effect on the central nervous system, it is no accident that among the first symptoms of "pobochki" - insomnia, irritability and drowsiness. This multidirectional action overloads the central nervous system and can cause unpredictable effects.
- In the process of taking alcohol, the liver works most actively, rapidly splitting toxic ethanol. Taking a drug Reduxin can weaken her work, and the liver simply can not cope with the entire flow of toxins. As a result - an unusually heavy hangover and even liver disease.
- Alcohol always provokes a strong appetite, while lowering the rate of metabolic processes. And if the patient is treated for obesity, such an effect can nullify all the "weight loss" results.
Possible consequences
The instructions for use do not contain an official prohibition on the use of hot drinks during the treatment of Reduxine. Moreover - reports that the clinical trials did not record an increase in the harmful alcoholic effect of the cocktail from the drug and ethanol.
But the instruction reminds that alcohol is strictly forbidden with a diet that necessarily accompanies any treatment with Reduxin.
The combination of alcoholic beverages, Reduxina and diet for weight loss can lead to such consequences:
- Appetite increases, which can not always be controlled( alcohol weakens willpower).
- Body weight increases( alcohol itself is very caloric + slows the exchange of fat-carbohydrates).
- Increased risk of an allergic reaction.
- The strongest hangover syndrome is expected in the morning.
All these undesirable effects fully apply to the reception of the "weight-loss" dietary supplement Reduxin Light.
Alcohol of any strength against the background of Reduxin treatment can provoke:
- severe drowsiness;
- nausea and vomiting;
- dizziness;
- increased pressure;
- sweating;
- skin redness, itching and other signs of allergy.
Rules for admission
The main thing that you should always know and remember about Reduxine: it is a medicinal product. And any medicine with alcohol is incompatible simply because all the harmful consequences can not be predicted - the reaction of each organism is unique.
Therefore, the main rule of joint reception of alcoholic beverages and Reduxina is no joint reception. If you take Reduxin, Reduxin Met or Reduxin Light, you will forget about alcohol. During the main course( 3 months for Reduxin and 1-2 for the addition of "light"), alcohol is banned completely. In any doses and amounts.
If you are treated by Reduxin for two years, there is certainly a risk of falling out on a particularly important home meal. In this case, you need to consult a doctor and discuss with him how much alcohol you can drink and when.
Conclusions
Most reviews of doctors are similar: alcohol during treatment Reduxin is completely unacceptable. Ethyl alcohol can not simply increase the "pobochku" of the medicine, it also negates all the results of the diet, returning with such difficulty the weight lost.
The opinions of patients on taking Reduxin together with alcohol are more controversial. Serious doses of alcohol in parallel with the medicine people drink are not solved, but a couple of glasses of wine or cocktails are sometimes mixed with cellulose capsules. The reaction of the organism is different for all.
Men's reviews usually report that it has not caused any consequences, but the reaction of women is the most unexpected. Strong drowsiness, dermatitis, swelling the next morning and a painful hangover - these are the main side effects of the reduction-alcoholic cocktail. Therefore, in order not to risk health and beauty, it is important to clearly choose what is more important for you. Minute euphoria from a portion of alcohol or effective weight loss and treatment of obesity.
