Meridia Weight Loss Drug Study
The prescription diet drug Meridia helped
adolescents lose weight when combined with behavior therapy, but also
was linked with increases in pulse rate and blood pressure that have been
found in adults, according to a recent weight loss drug study.
The research team led by Dr. Robert Berkowitz
of the University of Pennsylvania said the weight loss drug should only
be used on an experimental basis in adolescents and children "until
more safety and efficacy data are available."
