An estimated 8.5 million people have used Meridia worldwide despite the serious and deadly risks that are associated to the drug. While Abbott maintains the diet drug is safe, the FDA is reviewing the petition submitted by Public Citizen to immediately ban Meridia. Just one year after the FDA’s advisory committee voted that the benefits of Meridia did not outweigh the risks, the FDA approved the drug for sales.
