The safety and effectiveness of Redux beyond one year have not been determined. Now that I am taking Redux as part of a comprehensive weight loss program, I feel in charge. Soon after my doctor included Redux as part of my weight loss program, my health and attitude began to improve. Obesity presents serious medical risks. Obese men have significantly greater mortality ratios from cancer of the colon, rectum and prostate and obese women are at greater risk of endometrial and postmenopausal breast cancers.
Evidence also shows a relation between increasing weight and the prevalence of osteoarthritis.
Redux is not for people who are just trying to lose five or ten pounds to fit into their tennis shorts or bathing suit. Not all patients respond the same way to Redux and should be reevaluated by their physician after the first month of treatment to determine success. The most commonly reported side effects include diarrhea, dry mouth and somnolence. These side effects were usually mild and disappeared in a few weeks. PPH is not the same as high blood pressure.
