According to Health Beat the drug companies may have found THE weight loss drug of drugs. For real this time.
"The drugs companies are at it again trying to find a weight-loss panacea. Have they finally done it? According to Orexigen Therapeutics Inc., its new obesity-fighting drug Contrave will be the next big thing to whittle our waistlines. Orexigen says clinical trials showed a significantly higher weight loss for people on Contrave than those taking a placebo. Other benefits are supposed to include smaller waist circumference, lower triglycerides, increased "good" HDL cholesterol and lower blood sugar for people with diabetes. So far the most common side effects being reported are headache, nausea and constipation."
