A new drug called Lorcaserin is the first weight-loss drug to be approved by the FDA in 13 years. The drug will be sold under the name Belviq in the USA and will only be prescribed to people with a body mass index of 30 or 27 if the patient has other weight-related illnesses. With the approval of this drug, the FDA gave much warning to using this drug with other diet meds or using Belviq for long periods of time.
A better lifestyle and healthier companies are all we really need, but with all the advertising and connivence that fast foods and other unhealthy products give us makes it hard for the general public to resist. Drugs like these shouldn't be necessary, but I'd be glad to see them help.
