Meridia (Reductil/sibutramine) is an oral prescription medication used for the medical management of obesity and the maintenance of weight loss. Meridia works by affecting appetite control centers in the brain. The manufacturer of Meridia, Abbott Laboratories, acknowledges the death of 32 individuals, and yet continues to deny the dangerous effects of Meridia.

The serious and sometimes life threatening effects of Meridia include:

• High blood pressure

• Inability of blood to clot

• Seizures

• Neurological Disorders

• Heart Failure

Additional adverse effects of Meridia include:

• Chest Pain

• Rapid Heart Rate

• Headache

• Depression

• Shortness of Breath

• Tremors / Loss of Muscle control

• Abdominal Pain

Several serious allegations have been made that indicate the manufacturer of Meridia knew the dangers, and failed to report data to the FDA. Manufacturers of dangerous drugs can be held legally liable for their products and associated negligence.

We believe that drug companies who place profit above people must be held accountable for their negligence and the damage they cause to innocent victim’s lives.

It’s really terrible to read about a prescription drug being recalled because of dangerous side effects, when you’re one of the people taking it. That’s what happened to me a few years ago. I suffer from a chronic disease and my doctor prescribed a drug to help me manage it better. After being on the drug for a while I began to feel weak and reported it to my doctor. I can’t say enough good things about him, he saved my life. He realized that my problems were being caused not by my disease but by the prescription drug that was supposed to be helping me.   CONTINUE
