Meridia Lawyers

Meridia was a popular diet drug manufactured by Abbott Laboratories and was prescribed for the treatment of obesity and for weight management between 1997 and 2010. In 2010, the FDA requested Meridia be voluntarily removed from the market citing a health study that linked Meridia with cardiovascular health problems. The FDA has recommended that anyone taking Meridia immediately stop, and consult with their health care provider for treatment alternatives. If you have developed a cardiovascular health problem after taking Meridia, consult with an experienced Meridia attorney who can determine whether you have a case, and answer any questions you may have.

Meridia is currently a "Hot Topic" on LawInfo and more detailed information about this potentially harmful drug may be found on the Meridia Hot Topic page.
