Meridia Weight Loss Drug

Meridia weight loss drug is one of the newest diet drugs in a line of deadly and failed attempts by other pharmaceutical companies to provide an effective weight loss drug. When the Meridia weight loss drug entered the market, Americans had just endured an extremely publicized weight loss drug failure that left many people dead, seriously injured, and the company in severe legal troubles. Regardless, Americans were still waiting for the next miracle drug and the Meridia weight loss drug provided dieters with a new hope.

The FDAs advisory committee did not feel Meridia weight loss drug would be a worthwhile addition to the U.S. market and voted 5-4 that the FDA should not approve it. The committee did not believe the weight loss results outweighed the risks of deadly and serious Meridia weight loss drug side effects that could occur. Meridia weight loss drug was still approved, though its stay on the market has not been fully supported. Public Citizen consumer group petitioned the FDA in March 2002 for the immediate ban of Meridia weight loss drug after reports of 29 U.S. deaths and serious side effects were made.
