The main cause of obesity - over consumption of fatty/sugary food and a sedentary lifestyle. Treating obesity entails a limited option from lifestyle changes to drugs and gastric by-pass surgery.
SANOFI Aventis had abandoned its drug - Rimonabant/Acomplia
Pfizer put a stop to tests of a propto type called CP-945,598
Merck pulled the plug on experimental obesity fighter- taranabant
only 2 drugs left: orlistat/xenical and sibutramine/ Reductil or Meridia
Be aware, obesity is a huge and growing problem for which people are clamoring for a quick fix. Yet it is also a complex condition if your attitude towards it is not right.
