FDA Approves Prescription Weight Loss Drug.

reports that “in a rare move, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a novel prescription drug meant to help with weight loss and weight management.” The prescription “drug, called Plenity [cellulose and citric acid] and developed by Gelesis, has been cleared for overweight or obese adults with a body mass index of at least 25, even if they do not have other health problems.” Plenity “should be used in conjunction with diet and exercise, the FDA says, and can also be taken alongside other weight-loss medications.” http://time.com/5570718/plenity-weight-loss-drug/
