Meridia (sibutramine), combined with behavioral therapy, has been shown to be effective in helping obese teenagers lose weight, according to a study carried out by Dr. R Berkowitz and a team at Children Hospital of Philadelphia. The researchers found the treatment is effective in treating obese 12-year-olds as well.
The study involved 498 12-16 year old children at 33 weight-loss clinics - all of the children were obese and the children were divided into two groups, one received Meridia combined with behavioural therapy while the other received a placebo and behavioural therapy. The Meridia group lost some weight with an average of 14 pounds over a year, while those on a placebo carried on gaining weight. Those on Meridia also managed to attain better HDL cholesterol levels and triglycerides (HDL is the good cholesterol).
The study found Meridia is relatively safe and effective for younger teenagers and Meridia is approved in the USA just for people over 16 as a drug for aiding weight loss.

The team said further studies are needed to prove whether this treatment has long-term benefits: Do the teenagers continue to lose their weight? Do they keep the weight off after treatment regimen stops? Are there any other health benefits, such as a lower likelihood of developing heart disease or diabetes mellitus type 2?
The scientists also stressed that this medication is aimed at patients who are obese. It is not for slightly overweight people who want to lose a few pounds. It is an appetite suppressor that has, in the past, been blamed by some groups for causing some fatal heart problems.
In this study, 12.5% of pediatric patient taking Meridia experienced accelerated heart rates, versus 6.2% of children who were on a placebo. The researchers say it is important for any patient taking this drug to have his/her blood pressure and heart rate closely monitored.
