FDA says 'NO' to Zimulti

Posted on Jun 17th 2007 6:41PM by Martha Edwards
Zimulti, the drug we posted on last week because it was linked to suicidal tendencies, has been officially veto'd by the FDA because of said connection. Formerly known as Acomplia, a panel of experts voted against adding the drug to the market because they were concerned about the link between it and depression. However, the drug is currently available in several other countries. The drug can help obese people shed extra body weight, and also helps control glucose levels in diabetes patients.

Call me old fashioned but I don't approve of weight-loss drugs of any kind. If someone's obese, I believe they should have to improve their body through good old healthy living. Looking for a 'quick fix' isn't going to solve anything in the long-run. What do you think?
