Sibutramine is on the list of banned substances used in the production and trade of health food. This is a substance that promotes a feeling of fullness and reduces appetite.
In addition, Sibutramine also has the ability to act on fat tissue to increase fat breakdown, thereby increasing energy consumption. However, Sibutramine causes many dangerous side effects to the user's health such as: increased heart rate, difficulty breathing, agitation, hallucinations, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle cramps.
Desmethylsibutramine also has a similar structure to Sibutramine, causing harmful reactions to health.
