Qnexa® - New Prescription Diet Pill

Qnexa® - New Prescription Diet Pill:
There is in the works a product named Qnexa® that has been shown to reduce weight in its test patients by significant amounts. Vivus Inc is the company from California that has been experimenting with this combination drug for several years, where they have been fine tuning the amounts and release formulations to produce this trial diet pill. Qnexa consists of the two prescription drugs Phentermine and Topiramate. To some, these products are better known by their trademark names such as Adipex® and Topamax®. Phentermine has been used for years to fight obesity and has worked well. Topiramate has been used as an anti-convulsant such as with epilepsy patients. And although Topiramate has not been approved nor really researched as a weight loss drug, some claim they have lost weight with it as a side effect. However, what Vivus Inc has found is that when combined with each other in specific amounts that the weight loss far exceeds any weight loss that one would find by taking either product alone. Tests are indicating that the safety aspect of Qnexa seems to be right on track for a possible FDA approval. The FDA requires that in order for a drug to be considered as an obesity fighting drug it must have at least a third of its test patients lose 5% or more body weight. Qnexa easily passed this test.
