Qnexa should be available for the treatment of obesity in adults, says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Yesterday, the Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee met to review literature about the weight loss drug, manufactured by VIVUS, Inc. The committee voted 20-2 to approve the recommendation to grant market approval of the drug.
Qnexa is a controlled-release diet pill that overweight patients take once a day. According to a press release, the weight loss pill helps patients to feel full and helps to decrease appetite. In studies, patients on Qnexa experienced significant weight loss and improvement in cardiovascular risk factors. Those patients also also practiced a modified diet and lifestyle program.

Every time a new weight loss drug is released, I always wonder how soon it will be until it’s recalled. I’m just cynical I guess.
