Meridia Attorneys
Meridia helps the seriously overweight shed pounds and
keep them off. It is especially recommended for those who in addition
to being overweight have other health problems such as high blood pressure,
diabetes, or high cholesterol. It is used in conjunction with a low-calorie
diet.
Meridia works by boosting levels of certain chemical messengers in the
nervous system, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
Meridia, also known as sibutramine, is a prescription weight loss drug
used to control appetite by suppressing the absorption of serotonin and
norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that cause the brain to believe the
body is full. Meridia is not intended to be used alone. It should be prescribed
in combination with diet and exercise.
Side effects of Meridia include:
* Dry mouth
* Insomnia
* Depression
* Headache
* Constipation
* Hypertension
* Irregular heartbeat
Although the FDA has not issued a recall of Meridia, it has received
a petition from the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen asking for
the immediate recall of Meridia due to at least 29 deaths associated with
the drug.
