July 2012

The FDA approved the new weight loss drug, Belviq (Lorcaserin Hydrochloride). 
Belviq works by activating the serotonin 2C receptor in the brain. Activation of this receptor may help a person eat less and feel full after eating smaller amounts of food.  We will advise our customers regarding price and availability as soon as the information becomes available.
The FDA has delayed its decision to approve the weight loss drug, Qnexa.  The target date has been pushed back to July 17 to consider a new drug safety plan submitted by the manufacturer, Vivus.   Previously, the agency was scheduled to make a decision by April 17.  Vivus stated the three-month extension is standard when companies submit additional risk management information for a drug. 
Akrimax Pharmaceuticals is currently manufacturing Phentermine Hydrochloride 15mg and 30mg tablets.  Their products are orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) and can be taken with or without water.   Akrimax is marketing their Phentermine as “Brand” items under the name Suprenza.  Please contact us for additional product information.
Sandoz is now manufacturing Phentermine 15mg gray/yellow capsules and Phentermine 30mg yellow capsules.  We carry both products in 1000ct bottles only.
Our July/August flier will be mailed the week of July 9th.  We were waiting for information regarding the new weight loss drug, Belviq, but have not yet heard about  availability and price of this medication.

The FDA panel recently recommended that the FDA give approval to the new weight loss drug Qnexa. Although the FDA isn’t required to follow the recommendations of its special panels, it often does. The FDA expects to make their final decision by the end of April. Qnexa is a combination of Phentermine and Topamax (Topiramate). Both of the medications are available separately as generic. If Qnexa ends up being approved, the FDA scientists said they would require Vivus, the manufacturer, to train prescribers to educate patients on the pregnancy risks of Qnexa. Only 10 mail-order pharmacies would be permitted to sell the drug. We will advise our customers as we learn more information about product availability.

Lannett will begin manufacturing Phentermine 15mg gray/yellow capsules. We expect to receive our first shipment the week of March 19. Please give us a call for pricing on this new product.

Valeant claims they will continue to manufacture the Phendimetrazine (Bontril) 35mg Green/Yellow layered tablets in 100ct bottles only. Unfortunately they have tripled their price on this product. We still have a limited supply at the original 100ct price. Due to the significant price increase, once our stock is depleted, we will only bring more in by request of our customers.

We have a number of short-dated products in stock at reduced prices. Please contact us for more information on these specials.
