Obesity Experts Meet With FDA on Weight-Loss Drugs

More pressure to drug the fat.

Obesity experts met with the head of FDA's drug division on Tuesday to discuss a way forward for weight-loss drugs after the agency rejected three such drugs in the past six months.

"We're trying to move the dialogue forward," Louis Aronne, MD, clinical professor of medicine at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and director of the Comprehensive Weight Control Program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, told MedPage Today. "There have been three medicines presented and they're not moving forward, so the question is, what are we not communicating?"

It is not what you are not communicating.

It is what you are not understanding.

The drugs do not work and they have complications.

Go away.
