A member asked:
Which are some fda approved weight loss medicines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight loss medicine: There are actually 100 different medicines for blood pressure, 10 categories of medicines for diabetes, but very few fda approved medicines for weight loss. Really, only about 5 as of last summer. About 100 others are in different stages of fda trials. Orlistat is a medicine that blocks fat absorption. Belviq (lorcaserin) and Phentermine affect your appetite. None should be used without doctor supervision.
