The notorious weight-loss supplement distributed under the name of Belviq was recalled by the FDA (The United States Food and Drug Administration) and removed from the market in February 2020. Although Belviq was never classified as a dangerous drug, the increased number of cancer diagnoses in Belviq consumers was an immediate trigger for both the authorities and consumers.
Despite all the efforts and immediate actions, many regular Belviq users had to face the short and long-term damages of this drug. An FDA study reports that 7.7% of participants who took Belviq were diagnosed with cancer. Other common side effects include, but are not limited to:
- Slow heartbeat
- Fatigue
- Memory problems
- Damage in the nervous system
- Depression
The long-term damage caused by Belviq consumption is physically, psychologically, and financially devastating. This is why people diagnosed with cancer subsequent to regular Belviq use can be entitled to financial compensation.
