Climax is a special period in a woman's life when her body starts to work in a new way. This is a period of farewell to biological youth, which sooner or later affects every member of the fair sex. Unpleasant symptoms of menopause persecuting a woman at this time can significantly worsen the quality of life, but they can be effectively combated. For example, such a symptom as an increase in body weight and volume on the background of hormonal imbalance will help to correct drugs for weight loss in menopause, which should ideally be combined with procedures for cleaning the digestive tract and excretory system from toxins and toxins, determined by physical activity and proper nutrition.

Why does weight increase during the menopause and how dangerous is it?

To keep weight in norm at approach of a climax is a dream of any woman, after all according to the stories of older friends they know how difficult it is to struggle in this period with superfluous kilograms, quickly and reliably "settled" on the abdomen and hips. And statistics in this regard is cruel: overweight affects more than 2/3 of women who entered the menopause. Moreover, the increase in body weight can be either insignificant or significant (of the order of 10-15 kilograms).

The reasons for weight gain can be diverse, because at the age of 40-50 years, along with the metabolic disorders associated with hormone imbalance, there are other changes in the life of a woman. For example, physical activity is noticeably reduced, fatigue appears quickly (as the people say, the forces are not the same), but the level of anxiety and anxiety rises sharply, the woman is more susceptible to depression, nervous breakdown, which is "accepted" to eat with sweets.

Violation of the production of hormones primarily affects the sexual sphere and metabolic processes. Reducing sexual desire affects, in turn, the energy consumption of the organism, with which excess calories also go. But energy costs during sexual intercourse are enormous, which in turn positively affects the female figure.

As for the exchange processes, the situation here is even more deplorable. By the age of 40-50, a huge amount of slag and toxic substances accumulate in the human body, negatively affecting the process of digesting food and assimilation of nutrients. Especially suffer from this stomach, liver, intestines. And then there is hormonal imbalance "shamelessly" slowing down the already disturbed metabolism. The consequence of this effect is the subsidence of calories in the form of fat on the belly and sides of a woman.

It should be noted that not all women of mature age spoil the fullness, some even face it. But the whole danger of gaining weight is that with every extra kilogram the probability of developing cardiovascular pathologies, metabolic diseases, in particular diabetes, breast cancer and other diseases, increases. Excess weight contributes to increased blood pressure and cholesterol levels in the blood, which is dangerous not only for health, but for the life of a woman.

Fear of completeness makes women commit rash acts, for example, independently prescribe themselves various drugs for weight loss in menopause. Often, these are non-certified tablets from Thailand, or other equally dubious drugs, widely disseminated due to active advertising and paid reviews on the Internet. As a result, weight not only does not decrease, but, on the contrary, starts to grow with new force.

Indications of the drugs for weight loss in menopause

Indications for the use of the above-mentioned drugs are not particularly diverse. These drugs are designed to combat various manifestations of menopause, which do not allow a woman to live a full life and work fruitfully. Excess weight with menopause is only one of such symptoms, which become irrelevant when the hormonal background normalizes.

Release form

If weight gain is associated with a sedentary lifestyle and the consumption of large amounts of fatty and flour foods, it is often enough to change its attitude towards food and movement, as the main "designers" of the figure, in order to normalize it. But if the reason for the fullness was the deficit or excess of some hormones in the body of a woman, it is now difficult to manage only fruits, herbs and sports. Yes, it is much harder to fight such kilograms, and often without drugs for weight loss with menopause and various conditions, accompanied by hormonal imbalance, can not do.

The names of various drugs that are used to reduce weight in menopause are familiar to many women and in connection with the treatment of other symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, menstrual irregularities, increased irritability, anxiety, sleep disorders and others. All these symptoms, including the growth of the fat layer, are associated with a violation of the production of hormones in the body of a woman in the menopausal period. The task of these drugs to remove unwanted symptoms by normalizing the hormonal background.

To correct hormonal balance in the body with climax, 2 types of drugs help: hormonal (containing synthetic hormones or hormones of cattle) and non-hormonal (where the role of hormones is played by phytoestrogens or removal of symptoms of menopause occurs due to inclusion in the composition of specific components). Both doctors and patients give preference to the second group of drugs that are safer in all respects. But hormonal drugs for an incorrect appointment can themselves provoke a sharp increase in weight.

Natural remedies that help to deal with the problem of excess weight in menopause include Remens, Klimaktoplan, Klimadinon, Klimaksan, Tsi Klim, Estroel, and Feminal. Among the popular hormonal drugs, which should only be prescribed by a specialist doctor, but not a friend or advertisement on the Internet, one can distinguish "Ovestin", "Femoston", "Klimonorm", "Angelik", as well as "L-thyroxine", " Yodtiroks, Thyroidin, and others.

The most common forms of release of drugs for weight loss in menopause are tablets and capsules. But it is also possible to use such forms of drugs as drops, plasters and creams. Perhaps the effect of the application of the latter will be noticeable so quickly, but the stomach will say thank you that you did not award him with a ulcer or gastritis.

As you can see, there is something to choose from. The difficulty is not in choosing the name of the drug, but in choosing an effective drug in each case. And this is often a trial and error method.

Pharmacodynamics

Both hormonal and non-hormonal agents used in menopause for weight correction, first of all, should correct the hormonal background. In the case of non-hormonal drugs, plants that contain phytoestrogens are involved in this, although they are not full substitutes for hormones, particularly estrogen, but have an effect identical to human hormones. Such drugs do not contribute to weight gain, but, thanks to the beneficial properties of the constituent components, normalize metabolic processes in the body, fat is burned faster and thus the body weight is normalized.

Hormonal drugs are used if there is a significant deficiency of hormones, and phytopreparations are no longer able to cope with the symptoms of menopause. By replenishing the body with the necessary hormones, the hormonal background normalizes, and with it the metabolism.

Pharmacokinetics

The pharmacokinetics of most drugs from menopause can not be studied due to the rich composition of dietary supplements and dosage forms.

Dosing and administration

The main principle of taking any medicines is not to harm your body. It concerns both medications, and plant complexes or biologically active additives (BAD), which are used for medicinal purposes.

The first thing that should be paid attention to a middle-aged woman who follows her figure is the way of application and dose of drugs for weight loss with menopause, which are available in the description for each drug. But the majority of patients, looking through the instructions to the drug, pay attention only to this part of the information, without thinking that any medications can also have certain side effects and contraindications to use, which must also be taken into account.

Hormones for weight loss

Now let's talk about hormonal drugs. That's where caution does not hurt, because with the help of these drugs you can both lose weight and gain more. In addition, a large number of contraindications and side effects in hormonal drugs used to relieve symptoms and reduce weight with menopause, makes their reception possible only on the advice and under the supervision of a specialist doctor. The feedback from grateful patients is the last thing you need to pay attention to, since the purpose of these medications is purely individual.

If the above-described drugs contained analogues of sex hormones, due to which the hormonal background of a woman normalized during the menopause, the next kind of hormonal drugs is called upon to improve metabolism due to the introduction of thyroid hormones into the body.

Thyroid dysfunction in women 40-50 years is a common phenomenon, but this is not an excuse to prescribe the following hormonal drugs. Their appointment should be handled by a doctor, based on the degree of deficiency of thyroid hormones.

How to deal with heavy weight with menopause?

If a woman of climacteric age has a strong weight gain leading to obesity, you can consult with your doctor about the possibility of using special non-hormonal drugs to treat this pathology.

"Reduxin" - is intended for the treatment of excess weight in patients with a body mass index of 30 kg per 1 m 2 at the age of 65 years with or without diabetes mellitus. Produced in the form of capsules.

Useful properties of the drug: it stimulates the rapid onset of a feeling of satiety and significantly dulls the feeling of hunger, actively struggles with increased appetite, prevents overeating, accelerates metabolism and rapid fat burning.

The drug should be taken in the morning, regardless of food intake, without compromising the integrity of the capsules. The initial dose is 10 mg. If the drug is poorly tolerated by the body, it is possible to reduce the dose to 5 mg (open the capsule and divide its contents into 2 or 3 parts, depending on the dosage).

Within a month the body weight should decrease by at least 5%. If this does not happen, the dose is increased to 15 mg. The duration of therapy is determined by the doctor.

Despite the effectiveness of this medication, its use should be treated with great caution, since it has a fairly decent list of contraindications to use. This is a violation of the thyroid gland with a deficiency or excess of hormones (hypothyroidism and thyrotoxicosis), and mental illnesses, certain diseases of the heart and blood vessels, serious liver and kidney pathologies, glaucoma, femochromocytoma, any kinds of pathological dependences, etc., P.

And the side effects of this drug for weight loss, including with menopause, more than enough. Although they all usually take place in a mild form. These are sleep disorders, dry mouth, frequent pulse, headaches and dizziness, digestive disorders in the form of nausea and constipation, the appearance of signs of hemorrhoids, hyperhidrosis, decreased urine output, loss of appetite.

"Xenical" - a non-hormonal drug for the treatment and prevention of obesity with fewer contraindications. Also available in the form of capsules.

A single dose of the drug is 1 capsule. Take the drug you need every meal time except for snacks. The drug can not be taken if the meal does not contain fatty heavy food.

To achieve a good effect, the drug should be combined with a diet that reduces the intake of fats and carbohydrates.

The drug is not prescribed for chronic violation of intestinal absorption, violation of bile flow into the duodenum (cholestasis), and also if there is an increased sensitivity to the drug.

Very often, the drug caused the following unpleasant effects: oily discharge from the anus, softening of the stool, increased gassing with admixture of stool, frequent stool and the urge to defecate, discomfort in the abdomen, lesions of the teeth and gums, infections of the upper respiratory and urinary tracts, feelings of anxiety, etc. .

"Orsoten" is an analogue of the drug "Xenical" with the same contraindications and features of use.

These drugs for weight loss in menopause can be used only as directed by a doctor. If the weight has increased slightly, instead of good they can only do harm, provoking anorexia.

Diabetes mellitus and weight loss

Diabetes mellitus is not the most rare disease in middle-aged and older women. So, some of the patients suffering from this disease found that the use of a specialized drug to regulate blood glucose levels has an additional effect in the form of a noticeable decrease in body weight.

It's about the drug "Metformin". Strangely enough, but with its use for medical purposes, note a rapid and effective weight loss. And even after the abolition of the drug, weight does not return to high rates. And although "Metformin" is not a drug for weight loss in menopause, such interesting properties of the drug prompted women to think of using this medicine to correct the figure in the climacteric period.

What is so remarkable about this drug? The whole point is that it promotes the expenditure of energy, which previously was not stored in the body in the form of fat stores. In addition, it helps reduce appetite, speeds up the oxidation of fatty acids, regulates the absorption of carbohydrates in the digestive tract.

For the purpose of weight reduction, "Metformin", also called "Glucophage", is used in a daily dosage of 1000-1500 mg (2-3 tablets). It is recommended not to increase the dose above 2000 mg, as it is done in the treatment of diabetes.

The drug is available in the form of tablets, which are swallowed without crushing, but only with enough water. Take the drug preferably with food, but you can do it right after eating.

Side effects of the drug most often affect the activity of the gastrointestinal tract. There may be stool disorders, loss of appetite, nausea, sometimes accompanied by vomiting, stomach pain, there is a taste of metal in the mouth. All these symptoms do not require withdrawal of the drug and usually go away quickly. But allergic reactions and lactacidosis require specialist advice on the possibility of further therapy with the drug.

Yes, no matter how good the drug is, but it's ungrateful to appoint it yourself or another, because of the large number of contraindications to use, which must be taken into account when appointing. Here is just a small list of pathologies in which the drug is prohibited: various violations of the liver and kidney function, severe infectious diseases, lactic acidosis, acute stages of cardiac and respiratory failure, heart attack, etc.

In any case, the use of various drugs, regardless of the cause and purpose, should only be carried out after a preliminary consultation with the attending physician so that the intended benefit from taking the drug is not immeasurably small compared to the harm done to the body.

How not to recover in the menopause?

Most doctors and their patients, when solving the problem of excess weight with menopause, still tend to be that you should not panic and immediately turn to hormonal drugs and medications for obesity and diabetes. If the usual nonhormonal anti-climacteric tablets and drops do not help, you need to pay attention to interesting dietary supplements that promote weight loss, but not declared as drugs in menopause.

Let's talk about dietary supplements from Germany (developed by Farmaplant) under the general name "Modelform". One of these dietary supplements "Modelform 40+" is just designed for premenopausal women and menopause with their problems, one of which is weight gain over the age of 40 years.

The drug contributes to the effective normalization of hormonal balance and weight, controls appetite, improves the state of the gastrointestinal tract and provides a fortifying effect.

"Modelform 40+" is a complex multicomponent herbal preparation, reinforced with herbs containing phytoestrogens, which makes its use very useful during menopause.

Let's see what the unique structure is offered to us by the producers of Modalform, that their drug is so effective in combating excess weight during the menopause. So, extracts of bitter orange, medlar of Japanese, momordiki harantia and forskolin are included in the composition of the drug due to their positive effect on digestion and metabolism. It is thanks to them that the drug contributes to a decrease in appetite and increases the rate of fission of fats, not allowing them to settle on the abdomen and hips, as often happens in menopause.

Inclusion in the composition of dietary fiber psyllium prolongs the feeling of saturation, and therefore, helps reduce the amount of food consumed. But already the powder of pueraria in the composition of the drug for weight loss in menopause, thanks to phytoestrogens entering into it, is responsible for the normalization of the hormonal background, disrupted in the period of menopause.

But weight loss is not the only positive effect of the drug "Modelform 40+". The rich composition of the drug (the separate action of each of the components plus the effect of their combined action) contributes to an increase in activity and a decrease in fatigue in middle-aged women, regulate the work of the digestive tract, and the intestine in particular, help to cleanse the body of harmful substances and toxins, reduce blood sugar .

A extract of pueraria, in addition, gives the woman strength, having a general strengthening effect on the body, has a positive effect on the organs of reproduction, strengthens the cardiovascular system and normalizes the exchange of lipids (fats produced by the liver or obtained from outside).

The drug is available in the form of capsules, which are preferably applied in the morning during meals or immediately after it, with plenty of water. The daily dose of the drug is 1 capsule. For a course of treatment lasting 2 months, 2 packs of the drug will be needed.

This biologically active additive is very popular among women of different ages, which is based on the high effectiveness of the remedy in the struggle for the beauty of the female figure.

What is still pleasant about this drug is that it has virtually no contraindications to the use and side effects, which is confirmed by numerous reviews. Allergic reactions can be observed only against the background of increased sensitivity to the components of the drug.

Almost all the means described in the article require compliance with a hypocaloric diet or some restrictions in food. In addition, their effectiveness in terms of weight loss directly depends on the physical activity of women. Even with the strongest drugs, it is very difficult to lose weight, if this process is hampered by a sofa, glossy from the fat baked necks and a good piece of cake.

For those who are unable to withstand strong restrictions in food, you can advise the "Phase-2" calorie blocker, which inhibits the digestion of complex carbohydrates by the body. But it is from them that we get the bulk of calories, which are then deposited in the form of fat stores on the abdomen and hips. The effect of this drug can be compared with the action of the drug "Xenical", which does not allow fats to be absorbed in the body, displaying them in a practically original form.

The drug is taken as an additive to food 3 times a day. Single dose - 2 tablets. For a course lasting 1 month, 1.5 packs of a calorie blocker will be needed. If the effect is weak, the course can be repeated.

Admission of the drug, according to patients, may be accompanied by bloating, diarrhea, false urges to stool and incontinence, but allows you to not limit yourself to eating.

And yet, before using this drug for easy weight loss in menopause, it is worth to learn more about the preparations based on the bean extract, which block the enzyme amylase, responsible for the digestion and assimilation of carbohydrates, to which this dietary supplement belongs. In fact, along with the advantages they have many disadvantages, one of which is a violation of the digestion of food and gastrointestinal pathology.

Features of application and storage of drugs for weight loss in menopause

As usual, when it comes to herbal remedies for weight loss in menopause with a minimum of side effects and contraindications, there is nothing to worry about. Such drugs, often not related to medicines, but to the category of dietary supplements, are perfectly combined with other drugs, without affecting their effectiveness.

If we talk about hormonal drugs or special drugs for the treatment of diabetes or obesity, then when they are appointed, the doctor should take into account the recommendations of other experts regarding the intake of medicines. After all, the drug interaction with other drugs can not only reduce their effectiveness, but also negatively affect the patient's health, triggering quite predictable reactions.

If we talk about the safety of the drugs themselves, taking medications in accordance with the doctor's prescription (in the right dosage and in a certain way) should reduce the negative impact on the body to a minimum. If the patient decides that increasing the dose will increase the speed of achievement or improve the result itself, then such experiments often lead to the overdose phenomenon, and the consequences can be very different. So before you start taking any medication, carefully read the instructions, what results you can get if you increase the dose by triggering an overdose, and then decide whether to take risks.

With homeopathic remedies it's a little easier, but considering that there are plants with phytoestrogens in their composition, there is no need to overdo it, at least, in order not to get the opposite effect.

Speaking about the safety of various drugs for weight loss in menopause, one must understand that their effectiveness and harmlessness are directly related to the storage conditions and the shelf life of these medicines and dietary supplements. Use different drugs with expired shelf life clearly can not. But there is a danger that the drug will lose its useful properties and become dangerous to health before the specified time. This happens if you do not adhere to the recommended storage conditions, and this data is on each package, and sometimes on the product itself. Read the instructions carefully and stay healthy!
