1. Reductil (Meredia)

Page 3: Weight loss medications

Mechanism of action

Active ingredient:Each REDUCTIL (MERIDIA) capsule contains 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg of sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate.

Mechanism of action:Sibutramine is a centrally acting appetite suppressant. it produces its therapeutic effects by inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine.

Acting On CNS

CNS Toxicity

Page 5: Weight loss medications

The recommended starting dose of MERIDIA is 10mg administered once daily with or without food.

If there is inadequate weight loss, the dose may be titrated after four weeks to a total of 15 mg once daily.

Blood pressure and heart rate changes should be taken into account when making decisions regarding dose titration>

Dose?!

Page 6: Weight loss medications

Take by mouth exactly as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. The full effect on weight may require four to six weeks.

Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed because this drug can be habit-forming.

Also, if used for a longer period of time, do not suddenly stop using this drug without your doctor's approval.

Over time, this drug may not work as well as it did at the beginning. Consult your doctor if weight increases.

2. Xenical (Orlistat)

Page 29: Weight loss medications

Active ingredient:Each Xenical capsule contains 120 mg orlistat.

Mechanism of action:Xenical is an inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipases . It exerts its therapeutic activity in the lumen of the stomach and small intestine by forming a bond with the active site of gastric and pancreatic lipases. The inactivated enzyme is thus unable to hydrolyse dietary fat, into absorbable free fatty acids and monoglycerides. As undigested triglycerides are not absorbed, the resulting caloric deficit has a positive effect on the weight control..

Page 30: Weight loss medications

Dose:

The recommended dose of Xenical is one 120 mg capsule with each main meal .

If a meal is missed or contains no fat, the dose of Xenical may be omitted.

Page 31: Weight loss medications

How to use it?!

The patient should be on a nutritionally balanced, hypocaloric diet that contains approximately 30% of calories from fat. It is recommended that the diet should be rich in fruit and vegetables.

The daily intake of fat, carbohydrate and protein should be distributed over three main meals.

Based on faecal fat measurements, the effect of Xenical is seen as soon as 24 to 48 hours after dosing.

Page 32: Weight loss medications

Xenical safety:

Hepatic and/or Renal Impairment:Clinical investigations in patients with hepatic and/or renal impairment have not been undertaken.

Children below the age of 18 yearsThe safety and efficacy of Xenical in children have not been established.

Page 33: Weight loss medications

Contraindications:

XENICAL is contraindicated in patients with chronic malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis, and in patients with known hypersensitivity to XENICAL or to any component of this product.

Page 34: Weight loss medications

Side effects:

Adverse reactions to Xenical are largely gastrointestinal in nature and related to the prevention of the absorption of ingested fat.

Commonly observed events are oily spotting, flatus with discharge, fecal urgency, fatty/oily stool, oily evacuation, increased defecation and fecal incontinence. The incidence of these increases the higher the fat content of the diet

Page 47: Weight loss medications

Chitocal composition:

• 500mg Chitosan (VHD-very high density)

( The fat magnet)

• 100mg Ascorbic acid ( potentates Chitosan effect)

• 50mg Gymnema Sylvestre (Gurmar or the sugar destroyer)

Page 48: Weight loss medications

VHD Chitosan

• It is a natural aminopolysaccharide derived from chitin deacetylation.

• Chitin is derived from the exoskeletons of crustaceans like shrimps.

• it is indigestible & non–absorbable from the GIT.

• it is Highly lipophilic fiber

Page 49: Weight loss medications

VHD - Chitosan

Page 50: Weight loss medications

VHD - Chitosan

•It forms with lipids a polymer that will not be absorbed & then will be excreted with stools.

•It can bind an average 10-12 folds of lipids of its weight.

Page 51: Weight loss medications

VHD - ChitosanMechanism of lipid trapping:

Chitosan has a dual mechanism for traping lipids:

1.Magnet like effect.

2.Net like effect.

Page 52: Weight loss medications

1.Magnet like effect.

Chitosan posses a strong positive charges in its amino group (after the deacetylation processes) so it is electrically attracted to the negatively charged lipids to form a non-absorbable polymer which will be excreted in stools.

Page 53: Weight loss medications

Chitosan fatty acid complex

Page 54: Weight loss medications

2. Net like effect.

Chitosan polymer has a net like structure which has the capability to trap emulsified lipids into its network structure preventing there absorption in the GIT.

Page 58: Weight loss medications

Ascorbic Acid

• Vitamin C reduces the viscosity of chitosan and improves its ability to mix with fat in the stomach. Scientists also believe it may increase the oil holding capacity of the chitosan gel.

•In addition, vitamin C (AsA) also improves the ability of chitosan to successfully carry fat through the intestine

. "Mechanism for the inhibition of fat digestion by chitosan and for the synergistic effect of ascorbate." Biosci Biotechnol Biochem, 1995 May; Vol: 59; Number: 5; Page: 786-90;

Page 59: Weight loss medications

Ascorbic Acid

• The mechanical properties of the chitosan gels indicate that the chitosan-AsA-HCL gel was more flexible than the chitosan-HCL gel, although the hardness of the latter was higher than that of the former. In other words, the chitosan-HCL gel exhibited brittle fracture like breaking biscuits, while the chitosan-AsA-HCL gel exhibited ductal fracture like that of cheese.

•It is reasonable to assume that the more brittle the chitosan gel, the greater the release of alimentary fat from chitosan due to breakage of the gel while being transported in the intestines"

Gymnema Sylvestre

• It is an Indian herbal.

• It is called The “ GURMAR” i.e. The sugar destroyer.

Gymnema Sylvestre

• It is an Indian herbal.

• It is called The “ GURMAR” i.e. The sugar destroyer.

• it competitively inhibits glucose absorption at its receptors in the GIT

• Decreasing serum glucose increase glycolysis increase gluconeogenesis Decrease body fat content weight loss.

Chitocal (Gymnema Sylvestre) & D.M.

• It is effective for type I & II diabetes.

• In Type I D.M. it decreases the fasting blood glucose & decreases insulin requirement.

• In Type II D.M. it decreases the fasting blood glucose & decreases oral hypoglycemic doses

• In type II D.M.; 20% of patients may be able to discontinue there medication & having a controlled blood glucose levels.

Page 65: Weight loss medications

Chitocal (Gymnema Sylvestre) & D.M.

• Diabetic patients on oral hypoglycemics or insulin therapy may suffer from mild to moderate hypoglycaemia, so they have to:

1. take a spoon of sugar it this attack occurs.

2. Decrease the dose of there hypoglycemic drugs after consulting their physician.

Page 66: Weight loss medications
