In October 2010, Meridia was withdrawn from the market in the United States.
Studies have shown that it increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. This medication will no longer be available in the United States. People should stop taking it and should ask their healthcare providers about more appropriate weight loss options.
Meridia
® (
sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) is only available with a prescription. When bought without a prescription, Meridia can lead to dangerous complications or unwanted side effects.
For example, you may not be able to safely use Meridia if you have certain health conditions. Some of these conditions include heart problems,
glaucoma, or
epilepsy. Also, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking (including vitamins, herbal supplements, and non-prescription medications), as Meridia can cause negative interactions with some medications.
For the medication to work properly, you must take it as prescribed. Do not buy Meridia without a prescription, as it is important to have your healthcare provider's approval and supervision when using this weight loss medication.
