Obesity pill 'could lead to suicide'

By DANIEL MARTIN

 

A weight-loss pill heightens the risk of suicide among those taking anti-depressants, a watchdog has warned. Patients with severe depression should not be prescribed Acomplia, said the European Medicines Agency.

More than 40,000 Britons have been treated with the pill, also known as rimonabant, since it was unveiled last June.

It was hailed as a wonder drug after trials showed it could help dieters lose up to 10 per cent of their body weight - as well as helping smokers quit cigarettes.

But last month a committee advising the Food and Drug Administration, which approves drugs in the U.S., said Acomplia should be banned because of an increased risk of suicide.

The FDA banned it after a study showed that of 120 patients taking the drug, two had committed suicide and one was considering it. One man had also tried to strangle his daughter.

The European Medicines Agency said the drug should still be licensed but with conditions placed on prescriptions.

It said any patient who develops depression while on the drug should stop taking it. A spokesman said: 'The committee concluded that the benefits of Acomplia continue to outweigh the risks.

'Doctors will be sent a letter to inform them about the updated prescribing information.' Britain's medicines watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, said it knew of 318 cases of patients being affected by Acomplia up until the end of June this year.

Dr David Haslam, a GP and clinical director of the National Obesity Forum, said he would continue to prescribe the drug. He said: 'There are definite mood changes that occur but they are mild and transitory in my experience.'
