Wellcome letter


Hi to all of our followers! First of all I have to thank all of you for letting me take care of your health and lifestyle. Hopefully you have found some answers to your problems and are well on your way to a healthier you or hopefully you are already on a maintenance plan facing your relationship with food and the scale in a new amicable way. As I probably commented before, I am starting a new way of anonymous communication with all of you. There is a lot of information to be shared as well as a lot of experience and tips that can benefit most of us. As all of you know, I insist and always recommend to be part of a support group, one of the keys to success and one of the main pillars of Lifestyle Intervention for Weight Loss. You also know that I can not share individual information. This blog will be a way of having that. I invite you all to participate and post your experience without sharing any of your personal information. My second intention is to share as much medical/nutritional information as I can. The more educated you become the easier it will be to understand what you are going through.

Qnexa/Qsymia

FDA Approves Qnexa

July 18th, 2012 by MorganDowney Leave a reply »

Vivus Inc. announced today that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its anti-obesity drug, Qnexa, which has been renamed Qsymiatm .  Qsymiatm is a combination drug, composed of phentermine and topiramate, both of which have been approved by the FDA for years. As we have previously reported, Osymiatm has the most impressive weight loss of any obesity drug. The FDA has recommended patients discontinue the drug if they lose less than 3% of body weight on the mid-dose formulation or less than 5% on the high dose after 12 weeks. They also recommended monitoring of heart rate for people on the drug and that women of child-bearing age have a negative pregnancy test every month while using the drug. A Risk Evaluation and Mitigation System (REMS) plan includes distribution through certified pharmacies, a medication guide and a timetable for assessments.
