Reductil marketing authorisation suspended
28 January 2010, 09:32am
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended that the marketing authorisation for Reductil (sibutramine) is suspended across Europe following a review completed by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), which found that the risks outweighed the benefits.
•Those currently treated with sibutramine should schedule an appointment with their doctor at the next convenient time. Patients may stop treatment before their appointment if they wish.
•Prescribers should not issue any new prescriptions for Reductil and should review the treatment of all patients currently taking the medicine.
•Pharmacists should not dispense any prescriptions for it and advise patients to make an appointment to see their doctor.
