And this story is all too common. It really worries me that it is still being prescribed. I was ear-wigging on the conversation between two young women at the gym I go to, the other day, and one was saying she had recently started taking to Reductil and enthused to her friend that she had lost several kgs, and was bounding in renewed energy, and why did the other lass not give it a try as well? I felt very awkward... one part of me wanted to interupt and say, " No, no NO! you might be loosing weight now, but long term you could be inducing heart damage." The other part of me told myself that I would probably only be thought of as an old fuddy -duddy putting a damper on things, and to mind my own business. It was really hard though to keep my mouth shut but I felt really sad at the thought here were 2 young mums - silly part of it was, neither of them were what I would consider to be overweight like me. Gawd... to be a size 14.. one was probably not even that!.
