What Side Effects May Manifest If I Had Been Taking Belviq?

Initial studies on Belviq showed that it could be highly effective in curbing appetite levels for users. This is perhaps the reason why it was touted as a “Wonder Weight Loss Drug” and why it became a very popular prescription among many medical professionals.

Lorcaserin was usually either prescribed to be taken in multiple doses and retailed as Belviq or to be consumed in one dose and retailed as Belviq XR.

The immediate side effects of consuming the drug vary depending on several factors such as pre-existing medical conditions. The common immediate side effects include:

• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Constipation
• Dry mouth

After long-term studies were carried out on Belviq, there were more disturbing long-term side effects that were discovered. Belviq predisposed users to a high risk of contracting different types of cancer including:

• Pancreatic cancer
• Lung cancer
• Colorectal cancer

If you or a loved one have suffered the long-term effects associated with consuming Belviq, you have the right to sue the manufacturer for deliberately exposing you to harm. On contacting our drug injury lawyers at Keith Law, we will help you with preparing and pursuing your Belviq lawsuit.

Has Belviq Been Recalled From The Market?

Yes. As of February 2020, the FDA called for the recall of Belviq after it was discovered that the drug caused cancer. The manufacturer of the drug then went ahead to announce that they would voluntarily withdraw the drug from drug stores and shelves and stop sales forthwith.

At the moment, you will not find Belviq being sold anywhere in the United States. If you are a retailer and have the drug in stock, you should dump it immediately and stop sales at once. If you are currently taking Belviq to help with your weight loss endeavors, medical experts advise that you stop taking the medication immediately. Discontinuing the use of the drug will keep you safe from the dire health risks associated with its use.

Are There Lawsuits Being Lodged Against The Manufacturer Of Belviq?

Yes. Across all the states in the US, people are lodging lawsuits against the manufacturer for exposing and predisposing them to cancer.
