BELVIQ (lorcaserin)
What is this drug for?	To help people lose weight, when combined with exercise and a reduced-calorie diet. If you don’t lose at least 5% of your body weight after 3 months, stop taking the drug, because it is unlikely to work.
Who might consider taking it?	Adults who are overweight (with a Body Mass Index of 27 to 29.9) and also have a weight-related health problem such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, or sleep apnea; or people who are obsess (with a BMI of 30 or higher).
When was the drug approved?	June 2012 (based on studies totaling about 6,600 people, including about 3,500 people who actually took BELVIQ and the rest of whom took a placebo).
What precautions should I take?	Aboid taking BELVIQ with other drugs known to raise serotonin levels because that can cause a dangerous overdose. That includes many antidepressants, anxiety, or mania drugs, such as SSRIs (like Prozac), SNRIs (like Effexor), MAOIs (including the antibiotic linezolid), tricyclic antidepressants, bupropion, lithium, tramadol, tryptophan, and St. John’s wort; triptant (such as Imitrex), used to treat migraine and cluster headaches; and dextromethorphan, found in many cough medicines.
What other choices are there?	Diet or exercise programs, other medications approved for weight loss, and weight loss surgery for patients with severe obesity (BMI greater than 40).
