About


Meridia, also known by its generic name sibutramine, is a medication primarily prescribed for weight loss. It works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain, specifically serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, which regulate mood and appetite. Meridia is typically used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise to help obese individuals lose weight.
