Maridia, also known as sibutramine, is a
prescription drug taken to prevent or lessen
obesity. It is in the class of anorectics and
decreases appetite but also has some antidepressant
effects. The FDA approved Maridia in 1997 for the
treatment of obesity.
The drug increases adrenaline and serotonin levels
in the brain and this is thought to decrease appetite.
Known side effects include headache, dry mouth,
insomnia and high blood pressure. Patients
suffering from hypertension, angina or other
cardiovascular problems should avoid Maridia.
In 2005 Maridia was included in a hearing in the
United States Senate to study cardiovascular problems
resulting in death that appeared to be related to
certain drugs. Maridia was not with drawn from
the market but petitions where filed with the FDA to
do so.
