Meridia, made by Abbott Laboratories, was approved in 1997 for weight loss and weight loss maintenance for obese patients, and also very obese individuals who already had other health risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Meridia was approved after clinical studies showed that more patients taking Meridia lost at least 5 percent of their body weight than members of the placebo group who relied solely on diet and exercise. However, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has now requested that Meridia be recalled following a nearly year-long safety review of the drug which was initiated after researchers published the results of a study known as SCOUT (Sibutramine Cardiovascular Outcomes Trial). The study, which prompted a Meridia recall in Europe, showed a 16% percent increase in the risk of serious Meridia side effects, including:
SCOUT monitored 10,000 obese patients over the age of 55 who had a history of heart disease, and type 2 diabetes or similar risk factors. The initial purpose of the study was to show that weight loss through Meridia use lowered the risk of heart problems. However, that was not the case. In fact, the results suggested that those taking the weight loss drug had an increased chance of suffering Meridia cardiovascular side effects. Doctors have been advised to stop prescribing Meridia and begin discussing weight loss alternatives with their patients.

If you took Kombiglyze XR and suffered from Kombiglyze XR Side Effects, contact Kombiglyze XR lawyer Timothy L. Miles
Kombiglyze XR is a combination of metformin (a biguanide) and saxagliptin (a DPP4 inhibitor). Kombiglyze XR works by lowering the amount of sugar made by your liver, decreasing the amount of sugar absorbed by your intestine, increasing the amount of insulin your body makes, and helps your body respond better to insulin.
However, research shows that type 2 diabetes drug Kombiglyze XR (saxagliptin and metformin) may cause heart failure or other cardiovascular injuries in some patients. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 30 million Americans have diabetes and 84 million have pre-diabetes. Metformin—one of the drugs found in combination in Kombiglyze—is among the top 10 most popular prescription drugs taken by Americans. Analysts also predict that Onglyza (saxagliptin), Kombiglyze’s sister drug, could reach $1.8 billion in sales in 2018. In 2015, roughly 386,000 people were prescribed Onglyza or Kombiglyze XR, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported. Given that so many people take these drugs, any side effects they may cause that are severe enough to hospitalize patients should be treated with concern. Dozens of patients are filing lawsuits against Kombiglyze’s manufacturer AstraZeneca and its previous partner Bristol-Myers Squibb alleging that the companies failed to adequately test the drugs’ safety prior to selling it, which ultimately caused their cardiovascular injuries. If you or a loved one took Kombiglyze XR as directed and suffered from Kombiglyze XR side effects including heart failure or other cardiovascular injuries—such as congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction, after starting Kombiglyze XR therapy, contact Kombiglyze XR lawyer Timothy L.
