Na stronach FDA jest kilka ciekawych rzeczy na ten temat:
Prescription Diet Drug Meridia Linked To Heart Complications And Deaths
"Of the approximately 400 adverse events associated with Meridia the
company has acknowledged that approximately 32 involved the death of a
Meridia user."
=====================================
Not only does [Meridia] contribute to major cardiovascular problems, but its
effectiveness in lowering obesity is meager... There is no evidence that
this drug has prolonged the life of a single patient, or reduced the risks
of strokes or heart attacks tied to obesity. Instead, it has left patients
with only higher risks of injury or death from using it and high drug bills.
Meridia has been associated with the following symptoms and side effects:
Increased blood pressure
Heart disease
Rapid heart rate
Stroke
Seizure
Mental impairments
