The FDA recalled the diet drug Meridia on Friday, October 8 after studies revealed an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and other serious cardiovascular problems while providing very little weight loss for the diet drug user. Meridia, which was manufactured by Abbott Laboratories, was first approved by the FDA in 1997 as a prescription-only weight loss supplement for obese patients with other risk factors such as diabetes, high cholesterol and controlled blood pressure. The drug was withdrawn from use in LT Pepper Law is accepting referrals of individuals who suffered a cardiovascular event while taking Meridia.
