It contains 15mgs of sibutramine. I healthily lost a significant amount of weight and had ZERO health problems. I kept the weight off until I have 4 cycles of IVF which causes weight gain in most women no matter what you do (diet, exercise etc) I went back to my doctor to get another prescription of Reductil only to find out that they had been taken off the market. I felt like I had been punched in the stomach because Reductil was the only thing that ever helped me to stay focused on eating healthy and working out. It was removed from the market because of a RIDICULOUS S.C.O.U.T test which gave people who would NEVER be given reductil in the first place (because of age, health problems etc) 60 months worth! The test market was COMPLETELY wrong for that product! Anyway, Meizitang contains a little less Sibutramine than Reductil 15's and they work so I will be using them in the same way I did Reductil. Cigarettes are far more dangerous and have caused MILLIONS of deaths but those death sticks are still being sold right? For me, the dangerous effects of being overweight far outweigh the MINIMAL dangers of taking 12mg of Sibutramine. JMHO. I was prescribed Reductil 15’s from by my GP. It contains 15mgs of sibutramine.

This pills definitely work but put things into consideration when taking it. 1. Do NOT take it if you already have a history of heart problems. 2. If you do decide to keep taking it, the ingredient being no longer available and was only through prescription, taking it regularly might make you positive on a random drug test at work. 3. The manufacturing of this ingredient had been stopped due to bad side effects. Look up legal documents and you'll see that Abbott is being sued for passing such medication on the market. So there's a couple heads up for you folks out there. It is now known that meizitang does have sibutramine in it even if it’s not labeled.

There is a buzz on the success of Leisure18 and Fashion Slimming Milkshakes here, so I got really interested. I have known myself to be having palpitations even in drinking a normal coffee; hence, I opted to take the milk shake instead. After a week's use, I had palpitations! It didnt work for me.
