In February 2020, the FDA issued a withdrawal notice for the weight-loss drug Belviq® (lorcaserin) and Belviq® XR after numerous follow-up studies found an increased risk of cancer development in users who took the drug.

According to multiple studies, more patients that took Belviq® were diagnosed with cancer than those who took a placebo. This led the FDA to ask the manufacturer to remove Belviq® from the market on February 13, 2020.

MILLIONS IN CORPORATE PROFITS MADE BY RISKING CONSUMER SAFETY

Why Belviq® Is Off Store Shelves

First approved by the FDA in 2012, Belviq® was sold as a prescription weight loss drug that helped give users the feeling of being "full". However, a 5-year study that examined 12,000 patients found that Belviq® and its long-acting form, Belviq® XR, may lead to an increased risk of developing certain cancers. 

The FDA soon announced that Belviq's® manufacturer, Eisai Inc.®,  has agreed to withdraw Belviq® and Belviq® XR from the marketplace. Now, many consumers allege that Belviq's® manufacturer knew of the dangers behind their drug, but failed to warn the public or health officials.
