For the first time in 13 years, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a weight loss prescription medication. The drug, Belviq, is designed to promote long-term weight loss and intended only for those who are obese or are overweight with a medical complication such as diabetes, reported Businessweek today.
"This is good news because it tells us that the FDA is indeed treating obesity seriously," Obesity Society President Patrick O'Neil told the Boston Globe today. And although he contends that "its not the answer to the problem," it is regarded as an important step in creating additional new treatments. Belviq acts in a similar way to fenfluramine, which was part of the infamous fen-phen appetite-suppression drug combination pulled from the market years ago. A fat burning overview can help you produce a clear outline of what you need to focus on to complete your fat reducing target if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an intermediate or more advance phase of their weight loss strategy. Applying are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your special weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss plans have tricked people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss programs only work by causing a person's body to eliminate more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. However, Belviq is set to undergo additional post-market studies to determine its long-term cardiovascular risks, according to Businessweek.
Many experts are optimistic about the future of obesity, based on the approval of a new option. The way these things tend to work is you have some people who do extremely well and other people dont lose any weight at all. But if we had 10 medicines that were all different and worked like this, we would have a real field, Dr. Louis Aronne, director of the weight loss program at Weill-Cornell Medical College, explained.
