| How does it work? |
| Meridia affects chemicals in the body that are related to weight maintenance. It doesn?€™t suppress appetite however it helps to get a feeling of satiation and thereby reduces food consumption. Meridia belongs to a group of drugs known as monoamine (serotonin and nor-epinephrine) re-uptake inhibitors. Its main action is performed on the appetite control center in the brain. Serotonin is a chemical released in the brain after finish eating a meal and makes the fullness feeling. When a nerve impulse reaches the end of the nerve, the impulse causes the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters are released in the space between the two adjacent neurons. Meridia acts to inhibit the re-absorption of serotonin so the signal lasts longer and therefore giving the feeling of fullness for a longer period of time. |
