Roche Seeks New Indication for Xenical for Treatment of Type 2 ...
Roche site profiles application to USFDA for Xenical as an adjunct to other
antidiabetic treatments in overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes.
ROCHE SEEKS NEW INDICATION FOR XENICAL FOR TREATMENT OF TYPE 2 DIABETES -- Xenical, the Prescription Weight Loss Medication, Now Shown to Help Type 2 Diabetics Who are Overweight and Obese Lower Their Blood Sugar When Used in Combination with Other Antidiabetic Agents -- Hoffmann-La Roche Inc
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a new indication for its prescription weight loss medication Xenical ® (orlistat) to improve glycemic control when used as an adjunct to other antidiabetic treatments in overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes
Xenical, the only non-systemically acting prescription weight loss drug, is a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor which prevents one-third of dietary fat from being absorbed
It received FDA approval in April, 1999, for weight loss and weight maintenance when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet
If the new indication is approved, Xenical will be the only weight loss drug indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
The application for improved glycemic control in type 2 diabetics is supported by clinical trial data showing that patients treated with Xenical plus a mildly-reduced calorie diet lost more weight than those patients treated with placebo plus diet, and also had significantly greater and sustained decreases in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG)
NEW STUDY SUGGESTS THAT XENICAL<sup>®</sup> (ORLISTAT) HAS ...
Roche reports that in Xenical study of people with type 2 diabetes, improvements
in glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors were observed, ...
New Study Suggests that Xenical ® (orlistat) has Benefits Beyond Weight Loss for Insulin-Dependent Type 2 Diabetes Patients -- Improvements in glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors were also observed; Need for insulin and oral diabetes medications reduced -- Treatment with the prescription weight-loss medication Xenical ® (orlistat) can have significant benefits for overweight or obese people with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes who have sub-optimal metabolic control, according to a new study published in the June issue of the journal Diabetes Care
Treatment benefits were seen in body weight, glycemic (blood glucose) control, serum cholesterol and LDL/HDL ratio (good/bad cholesterol)
This is the first study to explore the effects of Xenical treatment in overweight or obese insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes patients
'Glycemic control is the goal of diabetes treatment and weight loss plays a key role in maintaining glycemic control, ' said David E
This is a significant finding that could have implications on how these patients are treated in the future.' More than 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are obese, and weight loss is especially challenging for insulin-treated type 2 diabetes patients because insulin therapy has been found to cause weight gain

Because of this unhealthy trend, people are turning to drastic measures to lose weight (surgery being the most extreme)
If you are overweight, or have a loved one who is, then read on and discover the 'wonder drug' called Xenical
Xenical is an oral prescription weight loss medication used to help obese people lose weight and keep the weight off
Excess weight has been proven to contribute to an increased risk of developing many medical problems, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes
The over consumption of fatty food and calories plays a significant role in the development of excess weight
While fat is an important component of a balanced diet, an overindulgence in fat contributes to excess body weight since it provides twice the number of calories per gram of weight as carbohydrates and protein

Hydroxycitrate as a Weight-Loss Ingredient
Literature review by Quackwatch.
Hydroxycitrate as a Weight-Loss Ingredient By Thomas J
Wheeler, PhD Hydroxycitrate [(-)hydroxycitric acid, HCA], is a popular component of over-the-counter weight-loss formulations, where it is marketed under the names Citrin (Sabinsa Corp.) and CitriMax (InterHealth Co.) and appears in products such as the No-Diet Diet, Bio-Max 3000, PhytriMax, Lite Bites, Garcinia Trim-Plus, Garcinia-Max Diet System, Citrilite, Citrichrome, Lipotrol, MicroSlim, Body Busters, and Super Prolean Mega Fat Burner
The only clinical study was a Russian-language article whose translated title was "Treatment of Patients with Food Toxinfection in Middle and Old Age." Thus, there were no studies in the regular medical literature documenting the usefulness of the compound for weight loss in humans
It also mentioned, with no documentation of methodology, the author's personal success in using the compound for weight loss (claimed to be "about one pound per day without any dieting" and accompanied by "sustained increase in energy")
The author proposed that HCA might be combined with carnitine for a weight-loss program, the latter because of its alleged ability to promote fat oxidation - even though he acknowledged "a lack of clinical studies demonstrating its efficacy" in weight loss
How to Spot Health Fraud

on how to spot a quack and where to file a complaint.
2: Over-the-counter transdermal weight-loss patch FDA issued a warning letter to the marketer of the weight-loss product described here because it did not have an approved new drug application
'Natural' 'Healthy, simple and natural-way to help you lose and control your weight.' Don't be fooled by the term 'natural.' It's often used in health fraud as an attention-grabber; it suggests a product is safer than conventional treatments
3: Unapproved weight-loss product marketed as an alternative to a prescription drug combination FDA issued an import alert for a Canadian-made weight-loss product whose claims compared the product with two prescription weight-loss drugs taken off the market after FDA determined they posed a health hazard
Promises of Easy Weight Loss 'Finally, rapid weight loss without dieting!' For most people, there is only one way to lose weight: Eat less food (or fewer high-calorie foods) and increase activity
Note the ambiguity of the term 'rapid.' A reasonable and healthy weight loss is about 1 to 2 pounds a week
