SINGAPORE : The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) is suspending the sales of sibutramine products in Singapore with immediate effect.

It made the decision after consulting its Pharmacovigilance Advisory Committee (PVAC) and a panel of external experts in metabolic diseases and cardiology, HSA said in a statement on Monday.

The decision came after a benefit and risk assessment of sibutramine concluded that the increased cardiovascular risk of the product outweighed the modest weight loss seen in patients.

"The deliberations have taken into consideration the findings from the Sibutramine Cardiovascular Outcomes (SCOUT) study, the use of the product locally, and developments in other international jurisdictions," HSA said.

The SCOUT study was designed to evaluate the cardiovascular safety after the long-term use of sibutramine in patients who had a history of cardiovascular disease and/or Type 2 diabetes with at least one risk factor such as high blood pressure or high lipid levels.

About 10,000 patients, aged 55 years and above, who were overweight and obese were recruited in the study and treated up to six years.

The study has shown a moderate increased risk of serious cardiovascular events associated with sibutramine use in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.

HSA said sibutramine is licensed for use in Singapore since 2001 as an adjunctive therapy to diet and exercise for obesity and for overweight patients with obesity-related risk factors such as Type 2 diabetes or disorders in lipid metabolism.

It is marketed under four different brands in Singapore - Reductil, Ectiva and Reduxade by Abbott, and Slenfig by Apotheca Marketing.
In Singapore, all four products are already not allowed for use in patients with a history of cardiovascular problems - such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, stroke and inadequately controlled hypertension - since sibutramine was approved for use locally.

To date, HSA has received three non-serious adverse reaction reports - such as elevated blood pressure or palpitation - following the consumption of sibutramine products. All three patients had recovered after discontinuing the use of the products.

With the immediate suspension of sales of sibutramine products, doctors have been advised not to prescribe sibutramine to new patients.

HSA is also advising patients who have been prescribed sibutramine, or who experience side effects like increased heart rate, irregular heartbeat or other discomforts after taking sibutramine, to consult their doctors.

Sibutramine has also recently been withdrawn from sale in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the European Medicines Agency.

hmm, so now it's down to panbesy or hoodia products for appetite suppressants for now...
what's panbesy btw, duromine?

[chixchix]

Initially when I was eating Duromine, it was really good but the weight came back when I stopped eating.

After when I went back to GP to get it ,they said I cant take Duromine as there is a certain BMI. So I was prescribed Reductil.

At first it was alright, but now no point eating. Its supposed to be a appetite depressant but I still get hungry all the time.

However, in the midst of all these ,,i didnt realise that my indon maid who was so chubby and plump when I employed her last year had suddenly become so slim with a flat,small waist.
Usually you know women wont share with you their secrets....

last week was her birthday, and seeing how I celebrated her birthday for her, she all of a sudden, brought a box of Indonesian jamu and told me that if I were to drink a packet a day , my tummy which looks like 6 months pregnant now, will become falt.

After giving birth to my 2 boys ,i never took Jamu during massage as I was afraid of the bitter taste. My maid told me this is not bitter and its got a honey flavour. Oh well another thing, she told me that working for me for almost 1 year she hardly fell sick because she drank the jamu...i havent drink but I am tempted.

cost only $3.50 per box of i think 6 packets.

I have never tried it. Because when I used Phentramin-d, after that I don't need to use any other pills. This one is best for me.

[babyq]

is banned... not possible to get it anymore.
