New Obesity Pill, Truth or Hoax? By Zach Ciraolo

Obesity pills here, get your Obesity pills while their hot; or at least still on the market! There has been a lot of trouble recently with Obesity pills in the past which in result the pills were taken off the market but now there is a new hype for the pill Contrave! According to Singer "Contrave, the drug under review this week, is a combination of two existing generic drugs: buproprion, also known as the brand-name anti-depressant Wellbutrin, and naltrexone, an opioid antagonist prescribed for drug addiction". But Contrave has resulted in people losing weight which is the main purpose of the pill but it does fit the criteria set up in 2007 by the F.D.A "that a new anti-obesity drug should demonstrate at least a 5 percent difference in typical weight loss between treated and placebo groups one year after treatment, and that the difference should be statistically significant, reviewers wrote. Reviewers also noted concerns about higher blood pressure, a possible side-effect of buproprion, in the treated group, particularly among patients with type 2 diabetes" So just like every medicine their is a good and a bad no way around it. So much time, and money put into these medicines that turn out to be flukes or hoaxes? What is the time spent doing research for if the medicine is just going to be taken off the shelves within a year or two? So as always BUYERS BEWARE!
