The FDA is considering approval of Redux, an appetite suppressant. The drug was developed to help people lose weight without using food as a trigger for serotonin. But critics say it could cause brain damage and heart disease in humans.
Fen-Phen & Redux were "the next miracle drugs" in the '90s, claiming to help people lose dramatic amounts of weight in just three months. But within a few short years, they'd been pulled from the market. They were just too effective! (Just kidding, they killed some people.)
