I am 28 yrs of age, and have been on every diet, and nothing has worked. This has been the only thing that has been working for me. I was almost 21 stones and have lost 3 stones in the past 3 months since I have been on Reductil. I was at risk of heart attack and stroke anyway considering my weight. I cant believe they are taking it off the market...and will there be an alternative offered any time soon.
