Americans continue to fight weight problems that have cost Americans a hundred billion dollars last year in over-the-counter diet aids. Most remedies have ended in failure, allowing the search for the newest breakthrough in diet pills to continue. The first miracle drug Fen Phen was an initial success that ended up being a disaster with a high number of deaths and serious side effects, like Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. Meridia diet pill followed Fen Phen's enormous failure but is now under the spotlight after many critics claim it offers very little weight loss benefits in addition to the increased heart rates and blood pressure that have been associated to 28 U.S. Meridia deaths. These FDA approved diet pills shows that the future of weight loss does not rest safe even with a stamp from the FDA.
