Meridia
Meridia does not suppress appetite, which is your signal to start eating.
Although Meridia and fenfluramine have similar mechanisms of action (they both affect serotonin), fenfluramine boosts the levels of serotonin into the blood stream. This increase in the levels of serotonin is believed to have caused the heart valve damage seen in some patients.
Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Meridia may cause dizziness, difficulty concentrating, or restlessness. If you experience these effects, avoid hazardous activities.
Meridia has been reported to cause increased blood pressure in some patients. It is important to have your blood pressure and pulse monitored regularly while taking Meridia.
Meridia works by acting on the appetite control center in the brain. Studies have shown that using Meridia, along with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise, helped patients lose weight and maintain weight.
