Yeduc uses


Pharmacological action

Yeduc is an drug for the treatment of central action obesity. The mechanism of action is due to selective inhibition of serotonin reuptake of norepinephrine and, to a lesser extent, of dopamine. This medication accelerates the onset and prolong satiety, which leads to a decrease in food consumption. It increases energy expenditure by stimulating thermogenesis mediated by activation of beta3-adrenergic receptors. Acts on both sides of the balance of energy and helps reduce body weight.

Sibutramine and its metabolites did not release monoamines, and they are not MAO inhibitors, have no affinity for serotonergic, adrenergic, dopaminergic, muscarinic, histamine, benzodiazepine and NMDA receptors.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration Yeduc is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Almost completely metabolized in the liver, with the participation of cytochrome isozymes CYP3A4, as well as by hydroxylation and conjugation to form inactive metabolites. Cmax of sibutramine is achieved in 1.2 h. This medicine is quickly and widely distributed in tissues. The plasma protein binding is 97%. T1/2 is 1.1 h. Yeduc derived primarily by the kidneys as inactive metabolites.

Why is Yeduc prescribed?

As part of the supporting complex treatment of patients with overweight in alimentary obesity with a body mass index of 30 kg / m2 or more, with alimentary obesity with a body mass index of 27 kg / m2 or more in the presence of other risk factors due to overweight, including diabetes mellitus type 2, or hyperlipidemia.

Dosage and administration

The initial dose is 10 mg / day. With lack of effectiveness when used in this dose (weight loss less than 2 kg for 4 weeks) and if tolerated the dose can be increased to 15 mg / day.

If no effect when Yeduc used in doses of 15 mg / day (weight loss less than 2 kg per 4 weeks), this drug should be discontinued.

In patients not adequately responding to treatment, that is who within 3 months can not reach the level of 5% weight loss from baseline, the duration of use this medication should not exceed 3 months.
