Contrave, new weight loss pill gets FDA panel nod
A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel yesterday recommended the approval of Orexigen Therapeutics' weight loss drug Contrave. This is the first time a weight loss drug has received the nod. The vote went 13 to 7 for Contrave's approval and 11 to 8, with an abstention that additional studies be conducted on heart risks. Although experts agree to risks they believe the benefits outweigh the risks. Although the FDA is not compelled to go with the panel's recommendation, it more often than not does. The FDA will deliver its verdict by Jan. 31 2011.
