US Health Experts Vote in Favor of Approving New Obesity Drug
The drug, made by California-based biotech firm Vivus, is the first obesity drug submitted to the FDA in more than a decade.
Qnexa combines two existing drugs, the appetite suppressant phentermine and topiramate, an anti-convulsant that can be used in conjunction with other drugs for weight loss.
The FDA does not have to follow the advice of the advisory panel, though it usually does. A final decision is expected by April 17.
