Information on Meridia

According to information on Meridia, the FDAs own advisory committee did not wholly support the agencys approval of the diet pill. One year before the FDA allowed Meridia onto the U.S. market the committee voted 5-4 against it because of their concerns with the available information on Meridia showing potentially troublesome effects. The advisory committees vote may have predicted the information on Meridia that would follow in the years of serious adverse effects.

When the information on Meridia death and serious side effects came to the attention of Italian officials, the country placed a temporary ban on Meridia. In the U.S., the Public Citizen consumer group petitioned the FDA for the immediate ban of Meridia in response to the surfacing information on Meridia showing deadly effects suffered. The group later asked that criminal charges be brought against Meridias manufacturer when finding the company failed to provide information on Meridia that was legally required. The exemption of information on Meridia involved a Meridia death.
