Eisai Co. will withdraw its weight loss drug Belviq after the US Food and Drug Administration said clinical trials showed an increased incidence of cancer among users, the company says
The FDA had asked Eisai to take Belviq and Belviq XR off the market.The FDA announced last month it was reviewing trial results on the prescription drug, also known as lorcaserin, an oral medication for obese adults, because of potential cancer risks. The agency Thursday asked people to stop taking the drug.
"As noted in a new Drug Safety Communication issued today, patients should stop using the medication Belviq and Belviq XR and talk to their health care professionals about other treatment options for weight loss," Woodcock said, adding that doctors should stop prescribing the drugs.The FDA is not recommending any special cancer screenings for people who are currently taking the drug or may have in the past.
