The newest weight loss pill, Lorcaserin, is delayed

Just what we need, another weight loss pill. I really think less money needs to be spent on drugs and quick fixes and more on education and making healthy options more readily available. So I'm not upset that we may have to wait longer than expected for Lorcaserin, the latest weight loss medication from Arena Pharmaceuticals. The delay is to assure that heart side-effects (Lorcaserin is a descendant of Redux) aren't an issue and there won't be a repeat of past disasters.

Arena Pharmaceuticals is confident they've found and fixed the problem and that Lorcaserin is safe, but we've all heard that before.
