an antiobesity pill has been approved for those who are 30-50 pounds overweight. doctors say nearly 35% of adults in the u.s. are obese.
Fda Approved Weight Loss Pills, many physicians are calling to approve new weight loss treatments. arena pharmaceuticals will be
the first in more than a decade to market a long term diet pill. >> this is really big news. >> dwane: dr. ken. >> i see 20-50 patients a week on weight loss and we have research on weight loss methods. >> dwane: his team in la jolla did the testing for arena's new
pill. >> this particular drug has a specific place it can be used in patients who have heart disease or at risk for cardiovascular problems it doesn't stimulate at all. it lowers your estimate. >> dwane: it's estimated
two-thirds of american adults are overweight and one-third are considered more mildly obese. the doctor gave me this prop as an example. five pounds of body fat milt plied by six and you have 30 pounds of excess weight. the doctor says there is no
magic in the pill but results can be significant overtime. >> it's not a medication you take by itself and expect to lose weight. you need to diet, you need to exercise, you need to change your behavior it can be done. the nice thing is this
medication will help that. it will make it easier to stay on track with the diet. >> dwane: arena weight loss pills should be available to the public early next year. another company is looking to get their diet pill approved next month.
