We are fascinated by fancy commercial names and packing and use these man made molecules / chemical compounds whithout knowing ultimately result. All these results into some sort of side effects and / or complications. The Protocol governing the test and evaluation of these drugs is not adequate and can never match wisdom of conventional medicines used by various cultures over thousands of years. For example Haldi (Turmeric) which is called “curcumin longa” has property to inhibit “NF Kappa B” and also it is known VEGF inhibitor. This can help in most of the chronic conditions and can (restricting formation of Fat Cells). Similarly Gracinia Combogia (VRIKSHA AMLA) can also be useful in obesity.

Very useful information is given here.I must say there is a high unmet need in the current market as the drugs that are efficacious carry serious side effects, while the drugs that have demonstrated moderate safety profiles have not demonstrated equivalent efficacy.Thanks.

it will not be all smooth sailing for pharmaceutical companies as there are many hurdles that need to be overcome before drugs are launched successfully. For instance, there is a growing demand from healthcare authorities and practitioners that anti-obesity drugs are efficacious, safe and cost-effective.

I just heard about an obesity drug that seems to be doing better than the ones mentioned in the article. I work as a nurse in the Oncology Dept and probably wouldn't have heard about this, but my friend says that Obestrin seems safer and at least as effective as the others. Guess we'll see.

I think the market is over $300 Bil worldwide in medical interventioins.
There are 14 mil americans who are qualified by medicare to undergo treatment because they need to loose 50 lbs or more for thier health condition. Each interventional medical procedure cost approx $8000 that makes a market size of approx $120 Billion. That is a huge market, 10 times a cardiology market.

Just keeping you in the loop on Qnexa, Look to July 15th for a better indication on what may be in store for its future. There is a FDA advisory committee looking at it that day. See what their tone is towards the drug, it may just let you know if it gets approved or not in later October.

Scientists argue that anti-obesity drugs fail to provide lasting benefits for health and wellbeing because they tackle the biological consequences of obesity, and not the important psychological causes of overconsumption and weight gain.
Whatever these drugs claim to do, the psychological aspect is not taken into consideration.few of those that are suffering from obesity consider therapy for their problem.
