Meridia Side Effects
Meridia side effects have been linked to the deaths of 29
people since the drug’s 1998 debut. Serious Meridia
side effects have led to petitions for a recall of the drug
currently prescribed to over 9 million people. Meridia side
effects have already caused the suspension of this drug in
Italy, where 2 deaths occurred. Meridia side effects include
arrhythmia and high blood pressure, and since the drug is
used by the obese, Meridia side effects can compound existing
conditions and often prove deadly.
In 1997, an FDA advisory committee stated that Meridia side
effects outweighed its benefits. In trials, takers of Meridia
lost 7-10 pounds more than regular dieters. Meridia side effects
also led an FDA medical officer to recommend the drug not
be approved, since Meridia side effects showed a potential
for cardiac complications in trials. Despite serious concerns
about the lethal potential of Meridia side effects, the FDA
approved its use and the drug was on the market in 1998.
