Experts Wonder Why Slimming Drug Meridia (sibutramine) Is Still On The Market In USA

A good point we have been making for years at Fitness Watch.

Sibutramine, brand name Meridia is an appetite suppressant, a weight loss pill. Editors at the NEJM (New England Journal of Medicine) write it is difficult for them to discern a "credible rationale for keeping this medication on the market", even though it is restricted for people without heart disease.

According to a new study, individuals with heart problems have a significantly higher risk of stroke and heart attack if they take Meridia. This confirms concerns about Meridia's safety for patients with heart disease and other heart problems (they are already warned against taking this prescription medication).

Consider suing if you were prescribed this drug.
