After Public Citizen issued a petition to the FDA remove Meridia from the U.S. market, Abbott Laboratories, Meridia’s maker, issued a statement claiming the petition was based on incorrect conclusions. Abbott believes that Public Citizen has not considered the serious medical condition that obesity poses and that removal of Meridia from the market would be a large disfavor to every American that suffers from obesity.
Abbott has maintained that Meridia is an effective means for weight loss in obese patients, Meridia is safe when used as indicated, and Meridia has strong support throughout the world. Abbott finds Public Citizen’s statements saying the effectiveness of lowering obesity is meager with Meridia to be untrue.
