Slimex (Obetrim)

Description

Slimex (Obetrim) is an appetite suppressant used for the treatment of obesity which helps to reduce food intake by providing a sense of fulness.

Slimex belongs to serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors and works by regulating chemicals in the appetite center in the brain and causing a reduction in craving for food and curbing overall appetite.

Simex is usually used to treat serious obesity and is recommended for patients with initial body mass index (BMI) higher or around 30.

Slimex should be used in conjunction with a reduced calorie diet.
