Acomplia drug patients at psychiatric risk - Telegraph

Extract:

"A weight-loss drug used by thousands of UK patients should not be taken by people on anti-depressants, a European health watchdog warned yesterday.

The European Medicines Agency (EMEA) said it was recommending that anyone taking anti-depressants or suffering ongoing major depression should not take rimonabant, which is sold under the brand name Acomplia.

About 41,000 patients in the UK have been treated with rimonabant since it was launched here in June 2006.

The Department of Health's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said it had received reports of psychiatric reactions to Acomplia in the UK.

"Three hundred and sixty-four (364) psychiatric reactions have been reported," it said. "Amongst these, there have been 48 reports of depression, 16 reports of suicidal thoughts and one report of self-injury.""

This is all so stupid and unnecessary...)o: - There is no need at all to take any so-called weight-loss drug. - YOU CAN LOSE FAR MORE WEIGHT, IN COMPLETE SAFETY, VERY EASILY INDEED, AT NO COST AND WITHOUT HUNGER, EXERCISE, DIETING OR DRUGS, BY SIMPLY AVOIDING EATING SALT AND SALTY FOODS AND MAKING SURE YOU EAT PLENTY OF GOOD MEALS WITH PLENTY OF FRUIT AND FRESH VEGETABLES. - TRY IT!

Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
