Case Alert: Belviq Cancer Lawsuit.
Our team of attorneys is currently investigating claims that Belviq (Lorcaserin HCI) and Belviq XR are associated with an increased occurrence of colorectal, pancreatic, and lung cancer.
What We Know About Belviq
Belviq (also known as lorcaserin) is a weight-loss drug manufactured by Eisai Inc. Doctors have been prescribing Belviq to patients in the U.S. from June 2012 to February 13, 2020. Belviq was designed for use by patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30+, or with a BMI of 27+ who also have a comorbidity (type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.). Belviq decreases appetite by making it easier for the brain to absorb the chemical serotonin, making the user feel full and satisfied without eating as much.
On January 14, 2020, the FDA issued a Drug Safety Communication alerting the public that a new study in the New England Journal of Medicine suggested a possible increased risk of cancer associated with Belviq use. Then, on February 13, 2020, the FDA issued a voluntary recall asking Eisa Inc. to withdraw Belviq from the U.S. because of the possible link between Belviq use and an increased occurrence of:
- Colorectal cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Lung cancer
