Sibutramine, the weight loss drug. Obesity treatment, including weight loss and maintenance of weight loss, should be combined with a low-calorie diet and exercise if diet control and exercise fail to reduce or control weight. It is recommended for the treatment of obese patients with body mass index ≥30kg/m2 or ≥27kg/m2(with other risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, etc.). On October 30, 2010, the China Food and Drug Administration suspended the production and sale of Sibutramine in the Chinese mainland.

SCOUT study(Sibutramine Cardiovascular Outcome Trial)

From December 2002, a large-scale Trial called SCOUT(Sibutramine Cardiovascular Outcome Trial) was initiated. A total of 9,800 obese and overweight patients took part in the study. The participants were all over 55 years old and had a history of heart disease and diabetes, but had not recently relapsed. The whole experiment lasted six years.

Sibutramine lost an average of only 2kg to 4kg more in the SCOUT group than in a placebo group. And it's not clear that the effect lasts after the drug is stopped. Sibutramine carries a serious but not fatal risk of cardiovascular disease, such as stroke and heart attack. The study led directly to the ban of Sibutramine in the European Union
